Secret Santa??

My husband and I decided to walk downtown and eat at our favorite restaurant, The Olde Town Cafe.  When we returned home there was an envelope, with my name written on it,  taped to the door knob.  Inside was a $25.00 Kroger gift card,  inside a folded sheet of paper. There was not a message or a name.

This is a very nice surprise and I appreciate it but I have no idea who would have done this.  Most of the neighbors, that we are the closest to, left town earlier today to to visit their families.   I'd love to know to who left this for me.

That was a very Christmasy thing for someone to do. How wonderful for you.
Kat W. Dec 20, 2008, 11:36pm UTC
Carol, my name was printed on an address label so there was no handwriting. I am so curious about who did this.
Wonderful. Apparently whoever did this wants it to remain a secret.

What a nice surprise. Yesterday our neighbor across the street paid 2 teenaged girls to clean off our cars and shovel our driveway. I thought that was nice of him!
Kat W. Dec 21, 2008, 12:26am UTC
Janet, that was very nice! You are fortunate to have such a great neighbor.
Carol V. Dec 21, 2008, 12:28am UTC
Maybe this will just be a Christmas mystery to remain unsolved. . . . .
Kat W. Dec 21, 2008, 12:34am UTC
Carol, it looks that way. At least it is a good mystery. :)
Enjoy the mystery with a good bottle of wine!

You have a secret admirer.
DesertDarlene L. Dec 21, 2008, 11:14am UTC
It wasn't me, lol. It was probably someone who doesn't want anyone to make a big deal or feel obligated over the gift.

Even if you never find out who did this for you pass along the smile that it gave you to someone else.

It's a gift from an angel, and the angel doesn't want you to know.
