Write a note or letter to someone that you haven’t seen for a while. Smile. Text Of Story Love On Christmas Day by Sean Hunter When the sky begins to tell you that snow will soon be upon the ground. It is easy to get that joyful feeling. Christmas Day will soon be here. And what a special moment the memories of Christmas can be. The preparing to pick and decorate the tree. The songs to be heard and sung. The soft, warm glow of candles coming from the windows. The cheerful greetings from neighbors and friends. And all the delightful aromas that would soon be coming from the kitchen. For Christmas is indeed special. For it is a time of joy and honoring each other with love. And for Paul, all of that was true. When Paul was a young boy winter was also a time to go skating and dream of playing hockey. Having fun gliding about the ice. Enjoying the fresh air and the delights of the moment. Wearing his sisters white figure skates. For those were the only skates Paul had. And that’s how Paul grew up. With hand me downs being common. Wearing those skates each day with pride. Remembering his father’s kindness and encouragement. “That those are still a pair of skates.” “Treat them as your friend and they’ll bring you much happiness.” And indeed the skates did. Then one day on his way to go skating Paul passed the local sporting goods store and stopped to look in the window. The owner seeing Paul came out and asked Paul if he could help him for a moment. That he had a nephew just about the same size as Paul, and would Paul please tell him what he thought about the comfort and fitting of a certain pair of skates. So Paul tried on the skates and wow! The skates were wonderful. And yes! Any hockey player would be happy to have those skates. Then off Paul went. To have a good time skating. And each day as Paul skated Christmas became a little bit closer. On Christmas morning Paul and his family gathered. For everyone was excited And around their tree with all it’s decorations the family began to celebrate and open their gifts. For Santa had left gifts for everyone. And with delight and surprise. Tucked away somewhere behind the tree there was one more gift, and it just happened to be for Paul. And Paul began to wonder. What could it be? And as Paul opened his gift his eyes widened with joy. There was a pair of brand new skates. Just like the ones he had helped the store owner with. It was now many years later. The snow had begun to fall and Paul was thinking of his father and their memories of Christmas. Over the years Paul had often thought about his first pair of skates. And each year those skates became even more special. For there were other memories that were to become a part of Christmas that Paul now remembered and cherished. Like his father’s sweaters having patches on the elbows, and how his mother was always clipping coupons. And walking to and from the market, when the bus went right by their door. And with each of those memories, Paul began to see the love in the many small sacrifices his parents had so willingly made. And now realized the true love and joy of the gift of Christmas Day © - Sean Hunter – 2018 /episode/index/show/storytime/id/7701062
