When our family came to stay for our wedding, they stayed in a rental house and bought TONS of food. So when they left we got to keep everything that was left over. While we were putting it all away in our new apartment, we found an almost full jar of peanut butter! Now it wasn't the small jar either, it was a big, brand-named jar of peanut butter! We were so excited because we don't usually buy peanut butter cause it's like $6 a jar! It's embarrassing I know.
So today when I went into work I saw a gift on my desk. I got a card, Bath & Body Works goodies and a Costco-sized jar of peanut butter! I had told my boss the story when it happened and she remembered.
It's amazing how such a small gesture can make someone feel so special. I truly believe that this is what Christmas is about. It's not about seeing who can spend the most money, but really showing someone that you care by remembering that they're poor and buying them a huge jar of peanut butter ;).
