As a child, my immigrant Chinese parents never gave me any Christmas presents, but one year—I’ll never forget it—the weeklies in the motel we were at got together & surprised me with an entire FRONT DESK of Christmas presents! It was the best Christmas ever!!! Happy holidays! ❤️

What a beautiful story of how special memories are created! Lesson for us: it will always be about the small things and one never knows how a small gesture can positively affect a person.
