Mary.
And to this day, the Christmas Bo x r emains a source of great joy to me.
For though it appears empty, to me i t c ontains all that Christmas is mad e o f, the root of all wonder in a child' s e yes, and the source of the magic of Christmases for centuries to come.
More than giving, more than believing, for these are mere manifestations of the contents of that box. Th e s acred contents of that box are a parent's pure love for a child, manifeste d f irst by a Father's love for all His children, as He sacrificed that which H e l oved most and sent His son to eart h o n that Christmas day so long ago.
And as long as the earth lives, an d l onger, that message will never die.
Though the cold winds of life may pu t a frost on the heart of many, tha t m essage alone will shelter the hear t f rom life's storms. And for me, as lon g a s I live, the magic inside the Christmas Box will never die.
It never will.
