I need a Christmas Angel!

A Christmas Surprise

I get so tired up in the rush of Christmas. Sometimes something wonderful happens and I catch my breath and come back to the moment.  This happened today.  I am in the middle of preparations for my Christmas Eve dinner.  Thirty guests are invited, so much to do!  I collected the mail and found cards from people I had dropped off my list, another job, and there was a big parcel, definitely a book.   Now, I had ordered Annette Gero's new book months ago so assumed this was it.  I would open it after Christmas and have a good read.

I put the parcel aside, and I don't know what made me turn it over,
but
there on the back was the address of the sender.  My friend Angela.

 



 Foolishly I thought she must have had to distribute Annette's book.  When I opened the parcel it was a copy of "Australia's Quilts" by Jenny Manning.  This has been unavailable for some time.  Angela rescued it in a sale and saved it as a Christmas gift for me.

Back in the moment I realise that Christmas reminds us that friends are one of the best gifts a person can be given at this time and at all times of the year.
