I adore the idea of a secret pal who sends me gifts throughout the year. It’s far better than a secret Santa and makes every day feel like Christmas. Although it is the essence of anonymity that is most fascinating to me.
It is common to want to receive recognition for everything we do. However, it is a breath of fresh air when a concept like this provides goodwill for another person’s benefit.
Happy Secret Pal Day.
Today our characters get to be secret blessings to someone else by assuming the role of a secret pal.
