Let me start by saying that, so far, this has been a crap day. I'm exhausted and rapidly running out of time to get things done. Add to this, a pile of more chores have been added with the family deciding that I should make a ton of things for Christmas dinner (we usually make one dish each, I get dessert, appetizers x 3 and cookies) :/ I haven't had time to bake (gifts I usually pass out to neighbors and friends). I'm going out of town Friday which is a gift from friends to the kid, and the weather is supposed to be awful.

I am trying to finish last minute shopping. You see, I thought I was done when I was put on assignment to shop for others. I go from one store to another, not finding what I need and finally settle on something else, get the gift cards I need to get, purchase the needed groceries for my Christmas dinner items, leave the store thinking I've got it handled and....nope. Forgot something else. Oh, what's that? You changed your mind and want me to make one more thing and can I change from this to that? Uh...NO! Thanks mom.

Pictures...OMG! I forgot the pictures! Off to my friendly photo center, get pictures printed, run to get kids and grandkid at school, go back, split up argument with kid and grandkid, lose track of what I'm doing, system failure, finally get pics, leave...the one I wanted the most...printed the wrong one. Craptastic day getting even crappier in 1...

Get home, spill soup for dinner all over the floor, rugs, cupboards. Oh yes, this is actually happening.

Walk outside to cool off before screaming at the top of my lungs or breaking all the dishes within sight, go to check mail and...

The worst day just got 100% better!!!

My SS card arrived...from France!

I clean up the spilled soup before opening the envelope (I didn't want it ruined) and was wonderfully surprised by a lovely card written in French on one side and English on the other. Good thing for that because I'd be lost otherwise.

It gets better! Also included, a card for my son with the cutest kitteh!

He was so thrilled to get something from so far away, tried reading the French, failed miserably, but thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Thank you, Secret Card Santa /u/jaskar_FR, for turning my day around! You're awesome!
