A Christmas Miracle
When my brother and I were kids, there was a Christmas where our family didn’t have enough money to buy us presents, food or decorations.
Some distant relatives sent my brother and I 50$ each – so we gave the money to our parents, so that they could buy a tree and Christmas dinner.
We accepted that we wouldn’t get presents, and that was fine – and we went outside to play in the snow. While rolling the base to a snowman, I noticed a leaf sticking out of the snowball – and plucked it out. It was a 100$ bill.
We went to the neighbor and asked if she had lost it, she was a very elderly woman who was rather well off, and she told us that she had lost it. She commended us on being noble, and returning the money – and let us keep it, she also handed me a Christmas card for my parents.
In the card, was another 100$. We got presents that year. Every year thereafter, I get that woman a Christmas present. Best old lady ever.
