At first glance you wouldn't think the Anders family lost nearly everything they own just a few weeks ago.
"It was a really good Christmas this year for all the kids," said mother Tiffanie Anders.
The living room is packed with gifts for all three of Tiffanie's daughters.
The family had so many gifts they opened some early to clear out space.
It's a different world than Tiffanie and her husband Joshua thought they'd be facing when their old home caught fire December the 12th.
"This is miles and miles beyond what I ever expected to be where I'm at now," said Joshua.
The Christmas gifts started arriving almost immediately after the fire and that wasn't all.
People they didn't even know donated food, money, appliances and even a storage shed.
"Just anything you can imagine that you'd need for a house people have just brought to us," said Tiffanie.
The biggest gift came the day after the fire.
That's when a Nashville man donated his Gallatin home to the family to live in for free until they found their own home.
"With the help of our community we've been lifted back up to where our family can function like a family," said Joshua.

Man pleads guilty to Memphis officer's murder
May 21, 2013 22:22 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A former death row inmate is set to be released from prison after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of a Memphis police officer.
Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said Tuesday that she has accepted Timothy McKinney's guilty plea.
McKinney was convicted of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Officer Don Williams. The officer was killed outside a comedy club in December 1997.
McKinney appealed and won a new trial, which ended with a deadlocked jury. A third trial earlier this year also ended in a hung jury.
The Commercial Appeal reports that McKinney was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since he's already served more than 15 years -- including 11 on death row -- McKinney will be released this week.
Williams' family opposed the settlement.
