A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Santa Claus Came to Town (#XfinityOnDemand)

Me with my iPad Mini 2


There are few surprises for moms during the holidays. Indeed, moms are the ones responsible for making other people’s dreams come true. We find the presents, buy the presents, and wrap the presents. We put the menus together, buy the food, make the food and clean up the kitchens. We are the ones responsible for creating the holiday magic. And while we do it gladly, it’s exhausting and we tend to know what’s coming. We are rarely surprised...



The wonderful note

They say that Santa Claus keeps tracks of who is naughty and nice and bestows presents upon those who are nice. Well, I guess I was a nice girl in 2014 because this Christmas, Santa Claus came to visit my house and I experienced the magic of Christmas. 

In mid December Xfinity sent me a message on Twitter telling me that they had an iPad with my name on it. I thought it was spam until Christmas Eve. 

On Christmas Eve I received a package and inside was a note and inside was an iPad Mini2 with a great note!

The iPad Mini2 in the box


Apparently the powers that be at Xfinity have a special place in there heart for working moms because the note said they sent me an iPad Mini2 to keep up with my favorite shows. This present will not only help me do that it will also allow me to have more peace in my house because we have another way to access the Internet, which means that there will be fewer fights in our house!

I haven't been this excited about Christmas since I was a kid. Ending the year like this makes me optimistic about the possibilities in store in 2015.

Thanks Xfinity!!!
