After I graduated from high school, I moved to Florida to help my great-grandma who was quite ill.  Between my minimum wage job and her medications, we were dirt poor.  Presents were completely out of the question--even a traditional turkey dinner seemed out of our reach.\n\nAbout a week before Christmas, we received an unsigned Christmas card from Washington with $200 inside.  Neither of us knew anyone in Washington, and we didn't recognize the handwriting on the envelope.  We ended up having a lovely Christmas meal after all, and even a few gifts "under" the table top tree.  We were astonished and so touched that some mysterious benefactor had thought of us.  Grandma died the following March, and I was happy that the last Christmas of her long life was a good one.\n\nTo this day I have no clue who sent us that card, or why.  I'm still grateful, though, and I think of him/her/them every year.

That would have to have been when I found out that about a family who didn't have anything for Christmas and I took all of my money that I had saved and went to the store and bought Christmas presents for all three of the little girls and for their Father as well.  It was two days before Christmas and they had absolutely nothing - no tree, no presents, nothing to speak of the holiday season.  These little girls had recently lost their Mother and there was no money when all was said and done.  I believe that this was the best money that I've ever spent.  It feels really good to help someone else.  It was amazing when my Father and I drove over to their house and knocked on the door, with bags and bags of wrapped presents for everyone.  The little girls were jumping up and down and screaming for joy and their Father stood there with tears running down his face.  I'll never forget the gratitude in his eyes and the joy in his daughters' eyes.  It's something that I'll remember forever.

I have so many but I guess one that comes to mind would be the Halloween one when he visited his brother that was constantly waiting for their dad to come back home and finally when the brother (who would NEVER leave the house) had to leave the house to go to the hospital because they thought that he had eaten poisoned candy...when they returned home they found a note from their dad on the door. He had actually attempted to come to see them after so many years. It was very touching.

I can see me now on Christmas morning creeping down the stairs.  Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes and see a hippo hero standing there! I want a hippopotamus for Christmas!\n\n I just downloaded that song and laughed my butt off!

Yes, several times.  Once in particular comes to mind vividly.  I was walking down the corridor in the hospital where I work & I saw this young woman sitting on the cold concrete floor & crying.  \n\nShe wasn't outside a patient room but an administrative office so I wasn't sure what to make of the situation.  In any case, I stopped what I was doing & knelt down next to her.  She flung herself into my arms and just cried harder & so I let her & tried to offer comfort.\n\nCome to find out that she'd just lost her mother upstairs & I've never been more glad, or grateful, to have halted myself and try to help.

I was in A Christmas Story but just a glimpse in the Santa scene\nthat was taped in Cleveland.\nMy sister was in the audience for the taping of A Star is Born with\nBarbra Steisand & Kris Kristofferson.  They were there to see someone else's concert but the crew for the movie was telling\nthe crowd what to do and stuff.

My wife asked me tonight, "What is Christmas to you...what is it that gives you that Christmas feeling?"  I told her it was the whole "O Holy Night" scenario that does it for me.  Knowing that God loves the world so much that He gave us a Savior born in Bethlehem.  And after some discussion, she said, Can you imagine how empty Christmas must be for atheists?  Being married to a woman who is concerned about how empty Christmas must be for atheists makes it about as merry for me as it can get.  I was moved to tears. I'm so very thankful for my wonderful wife.

Christmas commercials don't help get me into the good spirit I'm usually in.\nMy favorite commercial has to be the coffee commercial "home for the holidays."  The son comes home quietly with his bags and makes coffee for the family, his little sister comes downstairs first and then the mom wakes up smells the coffee is puzzled and comes downstairs to see her son "Peter" she says and they hug.  gives me goosebumps every time.

A chance to be back with my family.  I am going through a separation. I love my wife and son.  I miss them so much that thought of not being there when my son wakes on Christmas morning is too much to bare. Are there any more Christmas miracles?
