For the 12 days leading up to Christmas we published the 12 Days of Christmas Kindness where we celebrate a local person who does good for others and do some good to them!
They were so well received that we wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see all of them - so we're publishing them again one each day for the official 12 Days of Christmas - enjoy!
Day 8's gift went to Melissa Lucas, who was nominated by her partner, Andrew Cowan. Here’s what Andrew told us about Melissa:
"My partner is a Neo-Natal Intensive Care Nurse at the Stollery. She works really hard in a stressful job. She also takes care of all of us with so much love. I would like to show her how much we love and appreciate her. Her birthday is December 20th and it gets lost in the Christmas season. I would like to make her birthday stand out this year!"
Check out all the videos in the 12 Days series here:
DAY 1: "The heart of the neighbourhood"
DAY 2: "The angel of Facebook"
DAY 3: "Every street needs a light on it"
DAY 4: From Ukraine to St. Albert, with love
DAY 5: A heart of gold, a zest for life
DAY 6: Pet helper gets a treat

DAY 8: Neo-natal nurse gets noticed
DAY 9: A true St. Albert hero
DAY 10: Always looking after others
DAY 11: Greg gets a lift

Andrew says Melissa would love something pampering, so we went to our friends at Argos Restaurant in St. Albert and they generously gave us a $250 gift card to Andrew and Melissa can have a memorable meal!
Click the video to see what happened when we surprised Melissa and Andrew when they were out for a drink to celebrate their recent engagement (congratulations you two!), and make sure to come back each day until Jan. 6 for a fresh story of Christmas kindness!
