‘one day she took the time to stitch trees and a mailbox with the abbreviation of our province, and with intention she tied a red ribbon with frayed edges on its hook, and then she took her time to mail it to our home for it to find its rightful spot on our mismatched tree.’ (Caylee)
SHOW NOTES:
THE STORY – CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT:
Today’s story is the WINNER of our Christmas Ornament competition, which ran over on Instagram last week.
We are excited to announce that after long debating, as we were overwhelmed by the quantity as well as quality of the stories we received, we have reached a decision.
THE WINNER of the Christmas ornament competition is Caylee, who sent a story of a handmade cross-stitch ornament.
The runner up is Nicole Coonradt. We will think of how we can share her story also – let us know if you would like to hear more stories of Christmas ornaments!
DISCUSSION:
We discuss relationships, how friends create a connection and help define who we are. We also reflect on the knowledge that there is always someone, somewhere in the world, thinking of us. We take this as a reason for purpose and hope.
Thank you, Caylee, for sending this story. It was so beautiful and a real pleasure to read and discuss.
Many thanks to everyone who shared a Christmas ornament story with us – we are all so grateful for your stories, which brought light and joy to our day.
