A classic depiction of Hebrews 13:2: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
A fine example to introduce and instill love and charity and show how small acts can bring great satisfaction. Gratifying and heartwarming, this would make a nice annual read and may also inspire a new tradition with a special angel ornament to hang on your own tree. I especially liked the angel imagery and that will stay with me just as much as the story.

How come this one never became a Christmas classic?
A beautiful story that reminds us that when we help another we may be helping an angel.
