Dear team,
During this cold period it is better to sit inside and relax. A good idea is to sit and read some Christmas stories to the ones that you love!
We have prepared 5 short Christmas stories for you.
1. For the man who hated Christmas
Mike hated all the commercial stuff around Christmas: the overspending and finding the perfect gift stress. So I wondered what to get for my husband.
Mike coached kids and, at one match, sadly noticed that the opposing team, from a poor inner-city neighborhood, had almost no equipment at all.
When I saw his pain in the situation, I knew what to do. I bought equipment for the team and sent it to them anonymously.
On the Christmas tree, I put a small, white envelope. Inside was a note telling Mike what I had done. It brought tears to his eyes and was the highlight of that Christmas.
The white envelope returned every year after that. It ended up being the most anticipated gift of the whole family.
2. Bernie the Reindeer
Everybody knows Rudolph, but nobody knows the second most famous reindeer in the world: Bernie the Reindeer!
Santa Claus did not know what to do with Bernie. He did not like to be outside. He was too clumsy for the toy workshop. He ate everything he cooked in the kitchen.
At last, Santa realized that Bernie was always talking. Then, in a bright flash, he realized what Bernie could do. Bernie could answer the phone! Everybody was constantly calling, and Bernie would be perfect for this role.
There’s always something that you are good at. It might take some time to figure out, though.
3. On Santa’s Team
One Christmas, my sister told me that Santa was not real.
I told my grandmother, and she took me to the big department store. She handed me 10 dollars and the assignment to buy something for somebody in need.
I thought of a boy in my classroom who had no coat and bought a beautiful coat. We delivered it to his door with a secret note from Santa.
Since then, I have known Santa exists, and we are on his team.
4. The Legend of the Christmas Spider and Tinsel
The children of a widowed woman take a tree into their home. However, there is no money to buy decorations for the tree. So sadly, the children went to bed.
Spiders, however, had seen the sadness of the family, and during the night, they decorated the whole Christmas tree with their webs.
The following day all family was happy, and they realized that even when they were poor, God would take care of them.
5. The Postman Lifted Us From Depression
My father sat down outside our apartment, crying. He could not pay the bills for us anymore.
When the mailman came by, he asked him what he needed. My dad replied that he needed $33 for the following rent. The mailman gave him $50 without expecting him to pay it back.
Then he looked at me and said to my father: “When someone in the future needs your help, help them as you can and tell them what happened today.”
And that is exactly what I have done, and what you could do too.
