Learning from the children this Christmas
While I was thinking about what message I would like to share with you this Christmas, I saw this story on CBS Sunday Morning, and I knew there was nothing I could say that would top this.
So I invite you to take three minutes to watch this touching story about an amazing teacher and his students…the love they are sharing and the life lessons they are learning. (If you’re sentimental like me, have a tissue on hand.)
Their joy, that’s the gift to you.
On the Road with Steve Hartman
I wish you all a joy-filled holiday season. I’ll see you in 2024!
I really loved this! And loved how it touched the students as well as the recipients.
Merry Christmas! Here’s to 2024! 🥂 I love you sis.
Me too, Cindy. The students’ reactions was the part that really got me. I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas with you, sister. I love you!
Hi Christie – the video wouldn’t show in Australia – but I wanted to pop on and say Merry Christmas to you and your family – and thank you for sharing another lovely year of blogging together. Onward and upward into 2024 xxx
Hello Leanne. I am so disappointed that the video isn’t available outside of the U.S. I didn’t even think to check that before I used it in my blog. These children raised money to give away to complete strangers. The reactions of the recipients was touching enough, but the things the children said afterward about how the experience made them feel was the real kicker. I hope they take that memory and the lesson learned with them throughout their lives. I too have enjoyed this year of blogging together and look forward to whatever 2024 has to bring. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
I’ve enjoyed reading your posts again this year. Sending you all my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Looking forward to reconnecting in 2024.
I’ve very much enjoyed our interactions as well, Jen, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Hi Christie, The video is unavailable in Canada. However, I wanted to say happy holidays to you and yours and all the best in 2024. #WWWhimsy
Hello Natalie. I was so disappointed to learn that the video was unavailable outside the United States. I guess I should have checked that before using it on my blog, especially considering many of my blogging friends are spread out around the world. Thank you for the holiday well wishes. Wishing you a wonderful 2024!
Christie, I wish you and yours a very festive holiday season and always look forward to your thoughtful posts.
Take care, Denyse #WWWhimsy
Thank you, Denyse. Wishing you all the best in the coming year!
Hi Christie, couldn’t see the video here in Australia but that’s ok! I can still wish you a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy 2024. Thank you for linking up with #WWWhimsy – hope to see you again on 17 Jan when we kick of again in the new year! xo
Hello Min. I’m sorry you couldn’t watch the video. I didn’t even think to check that. I assumed YouTube videos were all accessible worldwide. I learned something new. Thank you for the holiday wishes. I will look forward to connecting with you in the new year.
The video doesn’t work here in Oz, but Merry Christmas and have a lovely holiday period. And we really can learn a lot from children. Weird how we seem to forget all the best bits of ourself with age. #WWWhimsy
I’m sorry you couldn’t watch the video, Lydia. It’s a good one. Considering most of my blogging friends are spread around the world, I should have checked the availability before using it on my blog. That said, you are correct that we can learn a lot from children and it’s good to reconnect with those parts of ourself from time to time. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Lovely! I hope you know you bring joy to many!
Merry Christmas to you & yours.
Thank you for those kind words, Pat. You made my day. Merry Christmas! See you in 2024!
