Putting the “S” in Santa’s Anonymous
When I was younger…okay, MUCH younger, I used to dream about being forgotten and then left overnight
in a candy store or toy shop. Seriously.
I also wanted a pet monkey but that’s another story.
Yesterday came pretty close to the toy shop dream.
Glenn and I were like kids in the candy store.. at the Canadian Tire at the Sunrise Centre in Kitchener.
Store owner Paul Pollock generously handed us a gift card and told us to go crazy in the toy aisles.
WE did.
I went for the 50-dollar Holiday Barbie.. drum sets and guitars.. Glenn grabbed huge remote control cars.. and Transformers.
I think we filled close to ten carts..and I mean they were overloaded.
When we got to the checkout, we were already over the 25-hundred dollar limit on the gift card. The store manager told us to keep going..So we grabbed snowboards and sleds.. and loaded up more toys. Our grand total: just two dollars shy of four thousand dollars!
Four thousand dollars worth of toys loaded up in less that 20 minutes, all for the Santa’s Anonymous campaign.
Thank you Mr Pollock, and the Canadian Tire gang.
These toys will go a long way Christmas morning.
