those i wished to treat to an unexpected christmas gift were all thrilled. very pleased and surprised to be thought of with christmas cookies and homemade jam (yes, both!). it was such fun to arrive on doorsteps of neighbors unannounced and greet the person who opened the door with a "merry christmas" and "this is for you". what i received were also gifts; hugs and smiles and the joy of having made others happy. i also treated the mail carrier and she left a note thanking me for the goodies!
a friend came for lunch and an afternoon crafting session. she worked on two different christmas tree ornaments while i worked on another project. she surprised me with an unexpected gift by leaving a set of her ornaments for each of the grandchildren. they will like them a lot especially since they are from someone they know and like very much. toward evening the doorbell rang and there was another friend. he also surprised me with an unexpected gift; a huge ham for us to enjoy for christmas dinner! indeed we shall. neither of these friends know about the whimsey project so they don't know about whimsical wednesday activities. however, for me, they were active participants in the whimsey project today and i am so pleased that they were.
