Giselle had moved on from her marriage to Tanner, accepting their diverging dreams about having children. However, curiosity struck when she saw him buying a cart full of toys. Following him led to a revelation that made her question everything about their past.

“My name is Giselle, and my life has taken turns that I never saw coming,” she recalled. Tanner and Giselle had met in college and married young, filled with dreams. Their love strained over Tanner’s adamant refusal to have kids, leading to a painful divorce. Years later, Giselle saw Tanner at the store with a cart overflowing with kids’ toys, which left her confused and hurt.

Giselle followed him to a storage unit where he unloaded the toys. Confronting him later, Tanner explained, “Every Christmas, I dress up in a Santa outfit and go around to unfortunate neighborhoods, giving out presents to poor kids.” He revealed how a childhood experience of receiving gifts from a stranger dressed as Santa inspired him to give back.

Over the next few weeks, Giselle helped Tanner prepare for Christmas. “I think it’s time I started giving back too,” she said. On Christmas Eve, they dressed up as Santa and his helper, spreading joy to dozens of kids. Giselle felt a warmth she hadn’t felt in years and said, “Thank you, Tanner. For showing me that there’s still good in the world.”
