Heartwarming Christmas stories

I suppose we all have our favorite "feel good" Christmas stories. Here's mine. It's entitled simply "The Christmas Story," and it's by the late John Henry Faulk. Here's a link (to the National Public Radio website):

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5028755

The words of the story appear on the above page, but it's SO much better to hear Faulk tell it himself, which you may be able to do if you click on "Listen" at the top of the page. It'll be a very pleasant 10 minutes for you, I predict. Enjoy!

If you have other uplifting stories (fact or fiction) you'd like to share, feel free.

Thanks, golf-a-holic. For you and anyone else interested, here is another of my favorite Christmas stories. This one is true, but it's a little bittersweet. It's the famous Christmas truce of 1914, when soldiers fighting each other took a break. The part about British and Germans singing "Silent Night" together seems especially poignant.
