Clearly by accident!!! I was shopping the clearance rack at TJ Maxx, happened to look at the lower rack(mostly out of sight) and there were the cutest toddler rain coats with quilted flannel lining for $2! So I grabbed one for my 2 yr. old niece who loved, loved, loved it, she wore it non-stop. She would put up a fuss when it was time to take it off so she could get in the tub. Then they hid it from her. My other brother was so impressed with it-- we had to run back out to the get his son one. Best 2 bucks or 4 I ever spent! More recently (4 yrs ago?), My mom picked out a 4 ft pre-lit Christmas tree for her room at the nursing home, perfect size for her to sit in her wheelchair and arrange and rearrange her ornaments. My mom knew Christmas 2013 was going to be her last, she left her tree lights on 24/7, this was the one and only time she ever did this. Mom died Sept. 2014, my new tradition is to put up moms tree along with our own and keep the lights on 24/7.
