WITH the world grappling with the coronavirus pandemic, this Christmas was like no other with people spending it alone or on a shoe-string budget due to losing their jobs.
One man spent the festive period without any gifts, as he struggled with his finances in what’s been a tough year.
Which is why his landlord’s heartwarming gesture has moved people to tears, after he gave him an unexpected Christmas gift.
The bloke, called Chris, shared the card he got from his landlord, with a moving message inside.
He uploaded the card to Reddit, saying: “Didn’t get any gifts for Christmas except from my landlord.
“Has no idea I’ve been struggling lately.”
The card reads: “Chris, I figured the best Santa gift for you would be taking off half the January rent.
“So just pay $440 at the end of this month.”
Rather than forking out $880, the bloke was able to save hundreds in December – amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The kind gesture racked up thousands of comments, as people praised the landlord’s offer.
One person said: “It’s been a rough one for us all. Glad you were able to catch some kind of a break.”
Another wrote: “This story warms my cold bitter heart.”
A third commented: “Super nice of them!”
While this person added: “Nothing makes me cry and I have been called a robot before…
“I teared up… This hits close to home and is a huge gift to me.”
Meanwhile this landlord’s ‘good will Christmas gesture’ leaves tenants raging thanks to ‘tone deaf’ and ‘disgraceful’ letter.
Plus a woman gets an angry note from neighbour slamming her Christmas decorations – so she responds by adding MORE tat.
And a neighbour was in tears after tired mum sends apologetic note saying she’s trying the ‘cry-it-out’ method to her kid sleeping.
