I'm usually not this lame, but I just can't come up with any wording for a special Christmas card. Can anyone help?
A co-worker and I want to stick some money in a Christmas card for another co-worker. This co-worker is a young, single Mom (no fault of her own.... Dad/Husband made some bad choices and is, uh "away" for several years) of two lovely little boys. She is both mom and dad to these boys and over the last year has learned lots of new things (plumbing, car repair, etc.) to keep her little family going. She works an entry-level position so we know money is tight although she never complains and comes to work every day with a great attitude and smile. She is madly in love with her two little guys and the stories she tells keeps us tickled.
We want to donate confidentially but I'm struggling with coming up with a quick 1-2 liner telling her to enjoy the Holidays or something..... help!

Santa says you're doing a great job with your boys! No coal in your stocking! Love, The Elves!

What a wonderful gesture. Just be sure to print out the tag so she doesn't recognize the handwriting.

When I had a similar situation, I wrote something along the lines of "Someone seems what you are doing and cares. Keep up the great work!"

You guys are showing her the true meaning of Christmas. It really is so much better to give than receive.

Thanks Ladies for all the help. We went with a version of itsmemom's idea... and yes, we typed right on to the Card so no incriminating handwriting!
