RE: Day 3 - Advent Calendar 2024, Win prize everyday! 🎄🎁

I bet when I dig a little further in my own childhood memories I can find more but this one is special to me as it's one that really made my children light up that year.

It was the year where financially we were struck with such hardships that later we lost our home. We surely couldn't buy fancy presents but I managed to get a lot of great things in a store that offered to trade items for points and this way you could shop around for new things yourself with these points. Amazing concept!

We were also invited to celebrate the holidays with our friends and without us knowing, they had a HUGE bag of gifts for my kids to give them an unpacking experience they probably never forgot. This was so heartwarming and it was amazing to see their smiling faces. They were spoiled to death that day but it was a welcoming surprise during hard times.
