With the amazing help of an assistant (thanks to The Refined here for "lending me" one of their fabulous workers), I headed over to Market Market for some last minute shopping and then I returned to wrap all the prizes and the remaining gifts.
It was a busy day and though perhaps I could have relaxed some more and enjoyed the prep work, I was really focused and had put a lot of pressure on myself because I really want tomorrow to be awesome for these girls. I'll be going tomorrow with 4 volunteers, one of which is my usual assistant and another being Skittles. I don't really think I need all 4 volunteers, just my assistant, but I asked others to come along because I think this will make a more memorable Christmas for them. This isn't just my Christmas and this Christmas isn't about me. It's about the Lil' Sistas and it's our Christmas, all of ours.
Today I finalized the plans for tomorrow. I sat at The Refined until I finished planning it all and then, when I was about to leave, the staff at The Refined surprised me with something so very special. They gave me three cakes!!! They had taken up a collection among their staff to buy the Lil' Sistas some cake and it got delivered while I was there. Three chocolate cakes with the words "Merry Christmas Lil' Sistas" written across them. The amazing smell of the rich chocolate mixed with what was written on them... wow, they were perfect.
