Originally written as dues for the SentinelAngst list. (Most of my earlier stories had that impetus behind them.) A few weeks earlier, I had seen the ornaments described in the story at our semi-annual Arts-and-Crafts fair, and this story was born. It started out as a snippet, but it grew.
Many towns have something similar to the "Wishing Tree" described in this story. Now that my nieces and nephews are past the age of toys, I've discovered great satisfaction in the idea of helping a needy child (or children) to have a happier Christmas. If you have a little spare cash this season, give some thought to adding this good deed to your own traditions. If you don't, may the good Lord smile on you, and may things get better for you in the coming year.
