Shhh...it's all a SECRET!
 
A few weeks before Christmas 2014, we were in our kitchen as a family making Christmas Chocolates for our neighbors, when everything changed for us. The kids were still home, lots of teenagers in the house. The tree was up in the corner, the fireplace on, snow falling outside…and a complete mess in the kitchen!

…but a happy mess. But the magic of the season had left a bit. Now that all of our children were in the know about Santa, and that magic had gone, we were trying to find a way to keep the magic of the season alive.

This particular very chocolate covered moment would change our lives forever. You see, Bret was about to hit play on a YouTube video that he had come across, and since was known for finding great videos for us to watch, we were all eager to see what he had for us.

The video was made by WestJet Airlines, and titled, “A WestJet Christmas Miracle.” WestJet put a campaign together that would increase their revenue & get them an award in the airline industry. 

They put a Santa in the boarding area, as passengers got ready to board their flight they shared their wishes & boarded their flight, they had no idea was magic was about to happen!

…you see, as the passengers boarded their flight, the arrival city agents were busily shopping for everything they wished for! Cameras, big screen TVs, socks & underwear…all of it!

I was so smitten by this idea, I am not sure I even finished making candies that day. I knew that we needed to do something this big, this life-changing, this magic-making! We didn’t have an airline, or a team of gate agents, or unlimited budget…but we did have a network of business owners, a desire to serve and unending ambition.

…and so it was born, “Operation Christmas Magic,” now 10 years in, and in 7 countries currently. Every year, for 10 years across the US, 100 people are nominated by their communities. They think they are just coming to a movie with Santa, getting a free soda & popcorn... 

...but what they don’t know is that Santa is mic’d, on camera & about 300 shoppers are watching their wishes! 

…and while they watch their movie, our elves go buy everything they wished for! Washers, dryers, snow tires, toys, even a trip to Disneyland & a car have been delivered.

As this Operation Christmas Magic spreads across the world (outside of the US) Uganda, West Africa, Kenya, Zambia, Guatemala, Honduras (and more), our Santa's & Mrs. Claus's submit their events for board approval & 1,000s of children & families across the planet are gifted a very, very magical Christmas! 

Thank you for helping us make the world a little more magical, no matter where you are in the world!

Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Claus

A father of six tearfully made his way to Santa’s lap, “What do you want for
Christmas?” asked Santa, through tears this sweet father replied, “I want
my son back”.

There were 300 sets of tears instantly as Santa tried to get himself together
over this one.

You see, Santa (my sweet husband Bret), knew of the heartache that this
good father was fighting. Santa knew that this kind man had been on a
normal motorcycle ride with his 15-year-old son a few months earlier when
a crash suddenly took his son home to heaven.

“I am not sure I can do that,” said Santa, “but we all love you”.

It was year five of ‘Operation Christmas Magic’.

Five years of scouring our little town looking for families that may have had a rough year. Families that may have had a business fail, or a life-threatening illness, or loss of employment.

Five years of pulling kind-hearted people together for a magical day that brings just a bit of relief to hearts that hurt. You see, once in a while, everyone is in need of a ‘grand surprise’.

You never know when hardship may hit, and many people suffer, and
struggle and muscle through silently.

The hardest part of watching someone hurt is not knowing how to help.

But on this one magical day, we find a way to help.

And the bonds that grow out of knowing what someone needs and being able to fill that need are truly life changing - for everyone involved.

Hot Choco-Worthy Stories from a FEW we have served :)
“You need to know how uncharacteristic it was for us to agree to come & even more unlikely for us to show up!...Honesty I am still amazed at how it all came about. My heart was filled to bursting on that day, as I thought, ‘who even does this for others’?”
- Jenny
 
“My kids were caught off guard and didn't know what to say. Everything that they asked for- Sissy asked for adult coloring books- Bubba music- Kiki a turtle (I cant believe they found a stuffed turtle) and Bryce BSU hat and football- even mom and dad were given gifts. There were a lot of moms crying. I can tell you that.. I will never forget the experience that my family had and I wanted to thank you for making it happen.”
- Tammy
 
 “We are the Macfarlane family, my kids were delighted to be there, it was a very memorable day. Something we cherish a bit more now of days. I had to leave early, I'm the father. I have late stage 4 cancer in my lungs and it's been really flaring up lately.
The gifts we're amazing, my girls we're in LOVE with that day.
Thanx for bringing some peace at a truly time of need.”
