Surprise “Act of Kindness”

We received quite a surprise in the mail today - in the midst of the daily Christmas cards, there was one that came with no return address that was thicker and heavier than the rest.

When I opened it, I was surprised to find the card signed simply by "Act of Kindness", a Blockbuster Video gift card and a Papa Johns Pizza gift card, and a typed note that reads:

Michael and Suzanne,
During the Christmas season so many in need receive what they need. So many during the Christmas season are deserving but don't always receive. This Christmas season, we feel you deserve something for all that you unselfishly do all year long. Take the enclosed gifts and enjoy them because you DESERVE it.
From: An act of kindness!

What a wonderful and pleasant surprise! It really made the rest of my day, and made us both feel really good. It's truly something in the spirit of the Christmas season that's worth passing along. So first off, if the person (or persons) who did this for us reads this, a special THANK YOU to you! Your "act of kindness" meant a ton and will be passed forward in another (similar) form to someone else.

It's driving Suzanne crazy that she can't figure out who it's from... and it's driving me crazy that in our desire to "repay the gift forward" we might just unknowingly send something to the person that sent this to us.

If you'd also like to send one along to someone unsuspecting, check out pictures of the execution below:
