A Little Bit of Xmas Good Karma

That card pretty much sums up how I feel about Xmas.

I love the food, tinsel, fairy lights and whole ridiculous wintery wonderland

aspect of it

(in a 30 degree Australian summer)

but the 

whole

season of peace, love and kindness idea

has me rolling my eyes.

But yesterday

the Xmas fairy must have been hovering near by and sprinkled me

with the 

Spirit of Christmas.

I normally avoid the shops during this time of year.

It saves me a LOT of money 

(impulse shopper from hell)

and

also saves my sanity.

But after playing nurse to 3 sick kids over the weekend, I needed to get out of the house  and hit our local mall,

9 months pregnant

with a 4 and 2 year old.

Stoooooooopid idea.

4 year old pewked all over me in the playground.

Then the 2 year old pooped in the only spare nappy I'd brought.

Really pooped.

Sigh.

I'd had enough.

Then a fellow mum noticed that Jazz was having an exorcist moment and brought over some wipes

and a plastic bag and asked if I needed a hand.

A grandma noticed me wilting in the Target queue armed with nappies, wipes and a stinky kid and let me cut in front of her in the queue.

Nice.

Then I came home, passed out on the couch only to be woken by a knock on the front door.

Ready to go postal on who ever was disturbing nap time,

I opened the door to see the postie 

with a stash of pressies for me!

Thank you

to 

Shanna from A Burning Ambition Candle Parties for the delicious smelling candles,

Katrina from Pretty Pushers for the hot pink delivery gown

and

Lisa from Zen Designs for the bracelets.

So the Christmas crankiness dissipated.

Today I noticed 

Shanna had this pic on her

facebook page.

How true.

So because I liked the buzz those acts of kindness gave me, I wanted to pass some good karma onto you!

Lisa sent me three of her Because...Bracelets 

(which the little girls tried to pinch immediately 

as they do to all of Lisa's pieces)

but

I got them back and

I'd like to give them to 3 lucky people.

I have purple, aqua and olive.

To enter,

let's get into the Spirit of Christmas! 

(just rolled my eyes anyway, lol)

I want you to share a random act of kindness that you've experienced, 

either 

as the 

giver or receiver.

(and let me know if you'd love a particular colour).

The winners will be drawn next Tuesday, 20th December 2011.  Australian residents only this time.
