For me, it was 1998. I was single, had no one special in my life, and I had come down with the flu. Also, most of my friends had moved away. I was sick and lonely and had reached the conclusion that this Christmas was gonna suck big time.
Christmas morning I got up and I thought I heard someone outside. I went to the door and looked, but there was no one there. There was, however, a box. I brought it inside and opened it. Inside there was homemade cookies, chicken soup, a deck of Uno, and a note. The note read.."I heard you were sick and could use some cheering up", signed "Santa". I was overcome with emotion. Someone might as well have bought me the Hope diamond because I couldnt feel more joyous. But who WAS this Santa? I found out several days later that my next door neighbor had told my landlord I was alone and sick, and the two of them had put together this Christmas "care" package for me. It gave me back something I had lost.....the true spirit of Christmas.
