Two Days Til Christmas-Santa's Elf

Santa's Elf
I decided to share a Christmas memory each day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas day. There's no order - just a random Christmas thought or memory --- It's only two more days til Christmas!
 An Act of Kindness
Special Delivery for a Little Girl
Does Blair Live Here? 
Santa's Elf - Fed Ex Driver
 
A computer was to arrive on Christmas Eve. I wrote a note to the Fed Ex driver and attached it to the mailbox on the front porch.  The note informed him that the package/computer was a Christmas gift from Santa for a little 2nd grade girl.  I asked him to ring the doorbell - ask for Blair - tell her that Santa asked him to make a special delivery to her today - Christmas Eve - that Santa would be bringing her other gifts tonight.
It worked perfectly - the Fed Ex driver was fantastic.  He was so nice and kind to her and played along exactly as my note on the porch had asked of him.  She talked for days about Santa's helper bringing her a special delivery - her computer.   It was just too big for Santa to bring in his sleigh.
Blair as young child -- Silliness under the Christmas tree
Such a wonderful and nice act of kindness in the man's hectic busy schedule of deliveries, etc. He took the time to stop and take the extra step to make a child's Christmas great. 

Every time I see a Fed Ex truck and driver during the Christmas season, I am reminded of this Christmas Eve.  All you can do is SMILE thinking about!

Santa Claus is coming to town, SOON!
Ho Ho Ho - Merry Christmas,
Gayla
