A Christmas Story for "Black Friday"

I love the following story by John Henry Faulk, which used to be played once every Christmas on NPR. They no longer play it, but I still find it and listen to it every year. It is my absolute favorite Christmas story, and I think it is especially appropriate to play on this day of mass consumerism.

Enjoy! I hope this holiday you get the chance to "play Christmas" over and over and that you get some "stripedy candy."

  • "Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy." Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace is Every Step

  • "If we think we have no stories it is because we have not paid enough attention to our lives. Most of us live lives that are far richer and more meaningful than we appreciate." Ruth Naomi Remen, MD, Kitchen Table Wisdom
