Have you ever experienced a Christmas miracle?

cool story…the best Christmas miracle was when Jesus was born!

@Cotton101 I second that! The second best was when I listened to a choir sing in a mall…it was magical, even though I was jostled over and over again.

@Cotton101 You are so right. That was the best miracle of all.
@belakyre I love to hear choirs singing.

I had a pretty bad break up back in late August. From then to know all my friends from High School have slowly but surely faded away from me. Whether it be physically moving to another state or hanging with new people.

Anywho I have been bracing myself for a rather lonely Christmas this year. But just a week ago I ended up meeting an old friend of mine. She lended me that friendly shoulder and gave me her time and attention. So I asked her out. She said yes and now were dating.

I know it’s probably not as big a miracle as I perceive it to be, but she picked me up when I was down. She saved my Christmas this year.

@Haroot thanks for sharing that! good for you!

@Haroot Miracles do not need to be earth-shatteringly tremendous to be precious. I’m glad there was someone there for you to help you out this Christmas!

@Haroot That is truly fantastic!!!!!

The only miracle I’ve ever seen on Christmas is the look on my kid’s faces when they see what Santa left. It’s nothing like finding a check in the mail, but the look on their little faces says miracle.

This was a Christmas miracle for me, as a police officer. a man came home early from work, three days before Christmas. he had been to his works credit union and the store and was pulling into his driveway from the rear of his house. he noticed the back door of his house was open about two feet. he lived alone. he grabs his .45 auto handgun in one hand and a bag of groceries in the other. he opens his back door and sets the bag of groceries down on the table. he then begins to walk down his hallway to the bedrooms. halfway down, two men come out of one bedroom and shot him in the right arm. man hit the wall and slumped down. a second shot to his head, killing him. the killers used the mans own rifle, from the wall, to kill him. both left. it was three days before Christmas. i made the statement that i would have someone arrested for this crime, before Christmas. that was a tall order for me to make. i was a burglary detective then and i had plenty of informants. i went to work 24/7 for the next two days. i followed every lead, every clue. i had a gut feeling who the killers were. but i needed proof. my informants did not let me down. one informant overheard one of my suspects make a statement, implicating him in the homicide. this was a good informant that i had used before and his information has always been correct. i see a judge to seek a search warrant for suspects house in the projects. i am looking for the rifle, the murder weapon. as fate would have it, i found it. suspect was not there at the time. i then signed a warrant for this suspect for 1st Degree Homicide. the word hit the streets that he was wanted and he hid himself very well. my trusty little informant came through again for me and gave me the location of my suspect. i made my arrest. suspect confessed and implicated his accompliace. he was arrested. my informant was given a nice sum of money for his information and i received my Christmas Miracle. i had made a statement to arrest the killers before Christmas and God gave me and my buddy informants the blessing of a lifetime…...case solved.

Here ya go.

My annual Christmas miracle is getting through the holidays without killing anyone.

@john65pennington That brought tears to my eyes. I will be thinking about that for the rest of the day. Thank God you were there to make sure they were brought to justice. The saddest Christmas story I remember from here was years ago when a tornado came through on Christmas eve and killed that man in Brentwood. That one has stayed with me all these years also. Every Christmas Eve I say a little prayer for him.

Nah, I don’t believe in miracles or Christmas but uncanny stuff like that happens to me all the time

Baileymom, you are a good person and i am proud to know you. john

@john65pennington Thank you…..Had a rough week and that just made it better. I feel the same about you. I am glad you have been out there doing what you do.

Miracles don’t exist, it’s called luck.

cool story…the best Christmas miracle was when Santa was born!

I once stepped into an elevator on Christmas and there was No Canned Holiday Music Playing!!

@pdworkin OH MY!!!!!! That was a miracle!! :):):)

@pdworkin that’s not only a miracle, it’s a blessing! LOLLL

Here’s a Christmas miracle:

I had a paper that was due in November. I kept not writing it, and finally decided that I would lie and say I emailed it in from my grandma’s office over Thanksgiving (higher likelihood of email failure) when he asked about it and act really surprised that it hadn’t gone through. Then I would quickly write it and send it in “again.”

Of course, I needed to prompt my professor to ask about it for this to work. I emailed in a different paper yesterday and asked what grade I had earned on that paper, expecting, “This is weird, my records don’t show you ever handing it in.”

Instead, he wrote back saying “You earned an A- on that paper.” I never wrote it. Now I can start making cookies! Thank you, Jesus.

I think I just experienced one! I was supposed to fly out of state on Saturday for about 2 months for a job. I was behind prepping for the trip and really needed a subletter for my apartment but hadn’t found one. At the very last minute my flight was canceled because of a storm and a really good subletter emailed me. Now I have four extra days and a someone to sublet my place!

@elocin See?? They do happen. That’s wonderful for you. Good luck with the job!!!!

@baileysmom12 Thank you!

My son has worked 3 days since he was laid off in January from his Ironworking job.
This morning, he got the nod at the union, and begins to work again.
Christmas miracle!

I think it’s a miracle every year that I get it all done!!!

It’s a miracle that I lived my first Christmas.When I was born I wasn’t breeding so the doctors struggled for 10 minutes(I think)to restart me.

@Christian95 I’m glad they got you breathing. We are blessed to know you!! :)

A miracle is something that cannot be explained by any means of knowledge that humans have obtained. None of us have experienced true miracles.

A miracle can also mean that there was a statistically unlikely but beneficial event. In that respect I’ve experienced several Christmas miracles personally.

Can a child save hundreds of lives?

Here’s a wonderful real Christmas miracle which happened on December 26, 2004 and it has to do with the value of education, especially science education:

Tilly Smith, a British girl who, at age 10, was credited with saving nearly a hundred foreign tourists at Maikhao Beach (Thailand) by raising the alarm minutes before the arrival of the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.

She learned about tsunamis in a geography lesson two weeks before the tsunami from her teacher Andrew Kearney at Danes Hill Preparatory School in Oxshott, Surrey. She recognized the receding shoreline and frothing bubbles on the surface of the sea and alerted her parents, who warned others on the beach and the staff at the hotel on Phuket where they were staying. The beach was evacuated before the tsunami reached shore, and was one of the few beaches on the island with no reported casualties.

Asteroid 20002 Tillysmith has been named after her.

That’s serendipity not a miracle.
