The Unexpected Gift

<p><em>Could an unexpected gift change your life?</em></p><p>I hate Christmas.</p><p>I’m known as the Grinch amongst my friends and co-workers but most don’t know why. Christmas ruins lives or at least mine.</p><p>When the annual Christmas toy drive brings in a new member something well someone crashes into me and I offer to help in a more hands-on way. Shocking everyone.</p><p><em><strong>Why?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Marlee Adams.</strong></em></p><p>There’s something about her. She defrosts my frozen heart and life and Christmas become less bleak. It might be her never-ending legs and what they lead to or it could her generous heart and infectious smile.</p><p>Marlee is my unexpected gift and exactly what I need to remember all the things good about this holiday...I just didn’t know it yet.</p>
