What a wonderful Christmas story. You certainly paid it forward. And I am always intrigued by stories of "instant" karma. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a great story, and your husband as Santa to those kids was truly heart warming.

You gotta give to get and your story is a perfect example of what a loving gift can return. Good for you and DH, what a sweet thing to do for those kids. It makes them see how the kindness of strangers is alive and well.

How awesome....your story brought tears to my eyes...I would loved to have seen the look on the kids faces- and the mother's too. It truly is "better to give than to receive"...and you were blessed back with some wonderful fabric...
God Bless you both this Christmas season...
