This one really helps you understand what Christmas is all about.

A clerk working in the dead letter section of the Post Office had the job to
process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day  a letter
came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to God.

He thought, "Oh boy, better open this one and see what it's all
about."  So he opened it and read:

"Dear God,

I am an 83 year old widow living on a  very small pension. Yesterday
someone stole my purse. It had $100.00 in  it, which was all the money I
had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had
invited two of my friends  over for dinner. Without that money, I have
nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my
only hope. Can you please help me?"

The postal worker was touched, and went around showing the letter to all
the others. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few
dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96.00, which
they put into an envelope and sent over to her.

The rest of the day, all the workers felt the warm glow of the kind
thing they had done. Christmas came and went. A few days later another
letter came  from the old lady to God.  All the workers gathered around
while the letter was opened. It read,

"Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?
Because of your gift of love I was able to fix a  glorious dinner for my
friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful
gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those
thieving bastards at the Post Office."
