Down the lane in sleepy, little town there was a house where a little old man lived. He was a quiet man who minded his own business, but he did help when he could. His neighbors would wave to him, and he would smile and wave back. The neighbors knew what he did to help out around the town, and they decided to get him something, but they did not know what. They looked around and noticed that he had no decorations. That Christmas Eve they went to the man and presented him with a Christmas tree from the town.

    This was a heartwarming story. It reminds us of the importance of kindness. Expecting nothing in return, and how that could bring along its own miracle, that even though the old man did not have his own Christmas decorations; his neighbours made sure they gifted him a Christmas tree. Such a lovely story 👏🏽👌🏽🤗♥️
