Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I want to share a couple of stories with you today from our book about The Spirit of Christmas. This is such a happy time of year, but what about the families that are going through hard times? You probably live in a community that has giving trees, and community gift collections, and plenty of ways to contribute and make Christmas more magical for families in need. And that’s what we’re going to talk about today – what happens when a family falls on hard times, which is often just a temporary issue.
