I discovered way too late that my Christmas tree had been thrown away. I rushed to the store. I was looking at some display trees at the Topsy Ln. Walmart, trying to figure out how I can afford a tree this Christmas while a door alarm that was pressed by a kid was going off.
A manager and a young lady moving a sky jack asked me what I was doing and if the sounds were annoying. I told him what I was doing and he pointed at the most expensive tree and said how bout that one for 5 bucks. I told him he was joking, and that it was a $250 tree. He called the front check out lady on is walkie talkie and told them a customer was coming to the front with a 5 dollar display tree. I was so shocked that all I could say was "thank you!"
I packed the tree up in the basket and composed myself so that I could hold back the tears while walking to the check-out line.
I wasn't able to get the gentleman's name, but that man saved my Christmas.
He gave me a few gift under the tree, and a nice dinner for tomorrow's dinner. But most importantly, he gave me a $5 tree that I will pass down in my family with the story of a kind person who gave my family a wonderful gift, which I shall treasure forever, and I'll keep the receipt to prove it.
