Calarugashawk Media Boy Santa will be here before you know it.
Hi'm Johnny Mack. It's another bonus episode of five Good
News Christmas Stories. Here's Aster Ireland. Users on Reddit shared
some of their worst Christmas gifts. One was a regifted pen,
(00:23):
bad enough, but this one had her sister in law's initials.
Perhaps even worse was a recycled birthday book, a book
given back to the original giver. One child received a
rubber Hulk hogan on a toy horse, a bizarre combination
of toys. Another got a half completed coloring book and
broken crayons. But I guess that's better than a thousand mealworms,
(00:44):
which was part of a prank war a few years back.
On Christmas Eve, Amanda found herself stranded at San Francisco Airport.
She had been there for an interview, but a massive
blizzard was wreaking havoc on flights nationwide. Her trip to
Chicago to see her family was canceled, and her flight
back to Los Angeles was delayed. Given that she and
(01:05):
her fiance had broken up on Thanksgiving Day and she
had spent the following weeks either crying or arguing with
him over the phone. It was slowly dawning on her
that she might be spending the holidays alone. To pass
the time, she settled on the airport's grimy floor near
a power outlet, plugged in her laptop, and started browsing online.
(01:26):
She checked her emails, exchanged instant messages with a friend,
and browsed Facebook. That's when she came across a somewhat
flirty message where in la why la? What's your favorite color?
From a Montana based writer. She knew of him and
his work, but they had never met. She had been
Facebook friends with this writer since October, after he added
(01:49):
her during a friend request spree before his new book's launch.
She had enjoyed a recent magazine article of his and
found his profile picture featuring dark aviator sun glasses and
a cigarette intriguingly rebellious. Though she had been tempted to
message him, her crumbling relationship had held her back, But
now he had messaged her first. Maybe it was the
(02:11):
airport's glaring lights or the melancholic yet hopeful air of
Christmas that made her more open to ideas of fate,
so she responded to his message. What followed was a
two week long exchange of emails, leading to him driving
eighteen hours to Los Angeles for a date. He even
rented a guest house for them to continue dating. Months later,
(02:31):
they moved in together, and their conversation has been ongoing
ever since. She's been spending her holidays in Montana from
that year forward. On a chilly, starry night, a remarkable
event unfolded in the year nineteen fourteen. Amidst the bleak
expanse of No Man's Land, a melody wafted through the air.
(02:53):
The tunes of Oh Holy Night, and God Save the
King echoed in the darkness. British soldiers, cautiously peering from
their trenches, witnessed an unexpected sight. Their adversary's trenches adorned
with Christmas trees, their branches aglow with candlelight. A voice
broke the silence, You no shoot, We no shoot. The
(03:14):
Christmas Truce of nineteen fourteen stands as a fleeting yet
poignant symbol of the elusive peace and goodwill amongst humankind.
During one enchanting holiday season, an unexpected surprise awaited Maria
and her family. Beneath the Christmas tree. Maria, who was
three years old, discovered that her new secretly gifted puppy
had an accident under the tree before her father had
(03:35):
the chance to conceal it. Returning from her grandmother's house
on Christmas Eve, Maria eagerly rushed to the tree for
a final peak before bedtime. To her astonishment, she noticed
an unpleasant surprise on the floor. Maria swiftly dashed to
the kitchen where her mother was. Mom, I think the
Christmas tree deserves a time out. Perplexed, her mom inquired,
(03:58):
why do you say that, Maria explained it pooped on
the floor. A curious young boy stealthily trailed a mal
Santa to his changing room. As the man emerged in
(04:18):
his regular attire ready to head home, the boy suddenly
appeared exclaiming, I knew it. The man taken aback, glanced
around nervously and asked knew what with a broad grin.
The boy leaned in and whispered confidentially, I knew Santa
had to have a secret identity to watch over all
the kids without being noticed. The man's face lit up
(04:40):
with a smile and he nodded in agreement. Just remember
keep it a secret, okay. Eagerly, the boy nodded, I
promise san he hesitated, scanning the area cautiously before correcting himself.
I mean, Chris Kringle. Those are your five good News
Christmas stories for today. Thanks to Johnny Mack for letting
me pitch in. Don't forget. Even when it's not Christmas time,
(05:04):
this feed continues to share five good news stories with
you every few days. I'm Astor Ireland. Have a great
day and a merry Christmas.
