Every year my family swaps names and gives a gift to the person they get.
It’s an entirely fun exchange of secret santa.
You never know who’s going to get your name. In my opinion, one of my favorite things to get someone is lottery tickets, not only are they low cost, however they’re fun whether you win or lose. This year, I was lucky enough to get more than one lottery tickets of our own in our stocking! I waited until the end of the day when all the presents were open until I scratched off the tickets. I wasn’t expecting to entirely win anything, or at least not more than a few bucks. The 1st lottery ticket didn’t hit anything. The next one however, surprised me! It said I’d won 200 dollars! I couldn’t believe it at first, and I was convinced someone was playing a cruel prank on me. When I went to the gas station to claim our dough, I realized it was 100% authentic. The first thing I did was give the man who gifted myself and others the lottery ticket 20 bucks off of it. Then, I started researching brand new Heating plus A/C systems. I’d been saving money for weeks, because our up-to-date Heating plus A/C plan was 12 years old and barely holding on. My utility bills were super high, but I didn’t have enough currency to replace the Heating plus A/C plan entirely. It was also costing me a lot to have it repaired and serviced. The winning lottery ticket was a huge blessing, because I could now get our dream Heating plus A/C system!
