A Special Christmas Story

As we quickly approach this special time of the year I would like to thank the losing like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved kids–all kids– schools, the community and most of all our wonderful families here at Ohana and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. Karate for an amazing year. Please read this with your family. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local Sam Larioza, Ohana Karate sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, It’s just a small white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about our tree for the past 10 years or so. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas that year and in succeeding years. Each Christmas I followed the tra- Christmas–oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it–the dition–one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, overspending,the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the dusting powder for Grandma, the gifts given in desperation because you couldn’t think the week before Christmas, and on and on. of anything else.

The inspiration came in an eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never school he attended and shortly before Christmas there was a non-league match against lost its allure. a team sponsored by an inner-city church, mostly black. These youngsters, dressed in The story doesn’t end there. You see, we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning it was joined new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was by three more. Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as Well, we ended up walloping them.
