Today Mark got a voicemail message from Canada post. 2551 cards today. That does not count the hand delivered cards.

Have been looking for my Christmas Spirit, if this will make Don and Bev happy, I'm in.
Haunted, this is really spreading Christmas spirit.
Apparently someone who dresses as Santa for something every year is going to the Manor tomorrow (I think it's tomorrow) and bringing a present to all the residents. People all over the country are sending cards to senior residences to be given to people who don't have family coming to visit.
THIS is what a really great Christmas movie is made of.
Choosing to be a part of it just might make you feel good. At least...it won't make you feel worse, right!

Have to share this....
Today Mark posted that Canada post has offered to send a few Canada Postal workers to deliver the cards next Friday. Just like in the movie.
Also, wanted to correct my previous post....Santa brought each resident a card not a gift. I misread.

This just gets better and better. Very touching story.
Ever wonder what 10,000 of something looks like? This only includes what has been delivered to the manor not the thousand or so at Mark's house.

Mine too. doesn't it feel good to be a part of this? I love how something little can mean so much to someone.

It really does.
I haven't heard back from the home by my house though. I really hope they used the cards.
I'll bet they have. Unfortunately people don't always think to say thank you or let people know. It doesn't mean it's not appreciated though.
The art of thanking has pretty much died out unfortunately. And with the holidays approaching, staff may be very busy. Routines are being turned upside down, and that can make things more difficult too.
Mark was originally planning to deliver the cards today, however because he had to work today, he felt it was to much to try to do it in the evening. So, tomorrow is the day. Here's what he posted today.
Can't link right now, but they had 17,000 cards for the delivery. Another 3,000 arrived yesterday.
CBC was there, and I'm pretty sure the Journal.

There was a video on CBC but I couldn't view it. In fact, I couldn't find it either.

Thank-you that is so sweet. Always great to remember Christmas miracles.
What a wonderful response, so little effort for so much joy.
