actually, let's have two winners! First, reading all the submissions was an unparalleled shot of holiday cheer and emotion to my heart - I am a single person without kids myself, but the proud stories of so many of your families and children has been a wonderful holiday gift for myself.

What I didn't think of when starting this contest was how difficult it'd be to choose a winner - it feels like I'm 'choosing' one story over another when in fact the posts simply prove that exceptional families and exceptional kids and exceptional love is everywhere. For everyone that didn't win, I want to say again that your story was heard, it was appreciated, and I hope your holiday is as full of joy as possible.

On to the winner(s) ... well I really couldn't just pick one so I'm going to pick 2:

Congratulations!! You won!!! I hope this gift brings a little extra joy for Christmas this year :)

I have learned since starting the contest that the fortnite and mario kart bundles are widely sold out and the ones available on Amazon are from resellers who have significantly marked up the price. In order to gift both of you, let's figure out a way to get these gifts to you that might not be through Amazon but save a few hundred dollars - please PM me to figure out the details! We will figure out a way to get the console and a game (fortnite or mario kart) to you, it just might not be in a bundle.

Once again, congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who shared stories of their amazing loved ones.
