Until last year, I always invited the children on the street to my
house each Christmas morning for breakfast, especially those from poor family, for I knew they needed more comfort during the festival.
But before last Christmas, my wife died and I was put into sorrow desperately and decided not to invite the children over for the traditional Christmas breakfast. But Kathy and Peter, my next door neighbors, asked me to join them and their three children for dinner on Christmas Eve. As soon as I arrived, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”
“Yes,” I replied. “If you need some, I'll go right away.”
“Oh, that's all right. Come and sit down. Just give Peter your keys.”
After the dinner, I thanked them and wished them all merry Christmas as I walked toward my front door. Only then did I notice that Peter had left a light on when he borrowed the milk—and that someone had decorated my windows with snowflakes and angels! When I opened the door, I saw that the whole house had been transformed with a Christmas tree, a Nativity scene, candles and all the other decorations of the season.
Early the next morning, a fiveyearold with a package of sweet rolls rang my bell. Before I could ask him what was going on, he was joined by two of his friends. Within fifteen minutes, my house was alive with all the children on my street, and I had all the food I needed for the usual festive breakfast.
