Dear
Olive Garden
It's
a little late for a Christmas story, but I thought
you would enjoy hearing this one. There are six
adult children in my family and we exchange gifts
with one sibling and their family each year. For
Christmas 2000 my husband and I purchased an Olive
Garden gift card for my brother in northern
Minnesota. Then we found out that my sister in
California had done the same for my sister in
Plymouth, MN. Later we learned that my sister in
Northfield, MN had treated our parents in Florida
to dinner at the Olive Garden, and my husband and
I received a gift card from my brother in Indiana!
None of us knew this was going to happen--we just
found out we all love your delicious Italian
specialities!
Sincerely,
Cheri
Thomas
Roseville, MN
