Oh, me, too. I missed it last year.

One year I missed hearing "O Holy Night", my favorite carol. Now, I can hear it any time I want to.

btw, I love this angelonearth site. Many, many heart-warming, amazing stories of real people and angels.

Oh brother! Living in total fantasy land. Christmas is the biggest distraction to reality of the year. Some of the worst legislation has always been passed while Americans were in delusion--e.g. the Federal Reserve Act. This is no time to be dreaming.

It is impossible that a superstitious people can ever be free. Wake up before you have no freedom left to dream with.

Twenty years ago I was a divorced single 
mom, struggling with a job and college classes, hoping for a better life. Money was 
tight. I literally counted pennies. One cold December day I squeezed into the last 
parking place at the supermarket. Meals for my 13-year-old son, Shawn, and me were a 
priority. But it was Christmastime. Shawn dreamed of an electric guitar. I believed 
God would help me if he could. But I knew how much money was in my purse. How could 
I make Shawn’s dream come true with only 25 dollars and a few grocery coupons?

market. The ringing of her bell cheered me a little, and I couldn’t help looking at 
her. Her eyes were astonishing, a bright sapphire blue. I shivered, but not from the 
cold. The woman had a powerful presence. It was as if she could see right through 
me.
