Dear Santa~

So thoughtful. I open the box and there in front of me was a lute of beautifully wrapped gifts.

Thank you for putting so much thought and personal touch into your gifts. Just to share with the fellow Reddit community, my grandmother passed away during the course of this secret Santa. I was planning to spend my Christmas with her and due to her death I am not sure where I’ll be this Christmas. My Santa included a Cardinal ornament and a special note about their significense in relation to loved ones passing. What made the tears flow, was that my Santa did not know that my grandmother and I shared a love for bird watching- and the day after her passing, a Pileated Woodpecker landed right before me and I felt it was her.

So thank you, Santa, from the bottom of my heart. For making this a special Christmas. And thank you Reddit, for enabling this kind of kindness and connection. We are all connected.

Much love to you and yours, Dirty Bikes

PS!!! The gifts were all stunningly wrapped!! I got a wee bit excited tho, and opened everything before getting pics of the wrapping
