A magical Christmas

A magical Christmas
From Elaine DeBock:
Christmas 1982 was a difficult one for our family, as out four year old daughter, Janina, was dying of leukemia.

After eight weeks in hospital, she was home for the Christmas season. We had just come back from the Christmas Eve service at our church and were getting the children ready for bed when there was a knock on the door. In walked Santa Claus! Without a word, he greeted us with a nod and gave each of our wide-eyed children a small gift. With a wave of his mittened hand, he was out the door and gone. To this day, 20 years later, we have no idea who the kind stranger was who helped make our little girl's last Christmas a magical one!
