The hour I found Christmas

You can give someone a million Christmas presents, but to really give someone Christmas?

That is a gift beyond words.

Truly beyond words.

Bestest gives me music and once he gave me a keyboard so I could play my music.

But I could never play for him. My hands shook. My heart quaked. I was too afraid.

This year I was like Charlie Brown. I just couldn't find Christmas, but Bestest kept right on singing and playing until Christmas Eve.

When the spirit of Christmas finally rose inside of me and poured out of my fingers.

After eight years I could play for him.
