Written by Joseph M. Malham 
December 2001 (based on a true story)
Father Ari Damaskos has always loved Christmas. If he could, he would celebrate it every day of the year, not because of the gifts and parties and childlike sense of excitement, but because of the love and peace and spirit of giving that reign in people’s hearts for a few days before the bleakness of winter sets in with a vengeance.
