One Christmas eve, many moons ago, I caught a taxi back from the bank, my husband had died a few weeks before (36) and my daughters were both under 5, I asked the bank for an over draught because life was falling apart, mortgage etc, they refused. For some reason (probably because I was so upset) I told the cabbie everything. The next morning at about 7am we heard a handbell and looked out of the window. The taxi driver had dressed as Santa and brought us food, toys and a little cash. How wonderful was that?
Now that's Christmas spirit :-)

What a wonderful story! That's so sweet. The nicest thing that happened to me at this time of year was the Millenium New Years Eve night. I'd ended up going with my now ex husband to his brother's house. I didn't like his brother - too sleazy and I knew it was gonna be a nightmare. When there was a couple of minutes to go before the year 2000 began I went outside for a walk. His house was on the top of a hill overlooking the city. The streets were deserted. Then I saw all the thousands of fireworks going off in the city and knew New Year must have happened and then I got a tap on the shoulder. A young woman had walked out of her house and seen me. She had a bottle of wine and asked me if I'd open it for her. It was obvious she was retarded but she lived on her own and had no one to see the New Year in with. I happily opened the wine and had a glass with her. So my happy moment was actually seeing the happiness on this young lady's face as she had some company to see in the New Year and I'll never forget it.

Thats lovely Freethinker!
Yes, the spirit of Christmas is all about love & sharing.
Am glad you were blessed to receive it!

Mine would have to be when my little son was just 3years. It was after Christmas Midnight Mass. Everyone was wishing each other Happy Christmas & the spirit was all loving & bright. Everyone dressed to the hilt & discussing which party to attend. My little son noticed a very poor child asking for alms & by his own accord gave her the huge festive balloon that i had just bought him.
I learnt more about true sharing from him that night than from the long sermon during the service that night!
