Once upon a time, a mariner was far away from home. It was winter and it snowed heavily. On Christmas Eve, he missed his family. He kept worrying about his family’s health. Suddenly, he saw a bright flash of light. An angel appeared before him. She smiled at him and he saw his sweet wife and mother at home busy with Christmas decorations. They looked content and healthy. Then the vision faded. The angel also disappeared. The mariner smiled and went off to sleep. In his home, his mother and wife also saw a light through the kitchen window. There stood an angel. Then they saw a picture. It was the mariner, sleeping and smiling, as if dreaming. A letter was kept near his pillow. The next day, the wife received his letter. The angel had brought the family close. For them the Christmas Eve had turned out to be very special.
Special Christmas
