A Christmas Jar For Santa: A Christmas Jars Story - Plot & Excerpts
You see, this Christmas was the best I ever had, and I’ve had a lot of great Christmases. You could say that Christmas is my job these days. See, I’m already ahead of myself. You need to know some things before what happened last week will make any sense to you. And I really want it to make sense. Let’s start back in ’54. The Korean War had just ended, and my angel Pauline—God rest her soul—was waiting for me to come back so we could get married. We were hardly ever apart from the day of our wedding until the day of her funeral. We tried to have children, but it wasn’t supposed to be. That’s what Pauline said, anyway. She always loved kids, and I guess it rubbed off on me, eventually. Christmas became really special to us because of the kids. Pauline volunteered us for everything around the holidays, especially anything that involved children. She would get such a look on her face when she was with them. She would look down at a fresh- scrubbed, freckled five-year-old face and then look up at me and tell me with her eyes how much it hurt to have to borrow other people’s kids.
