I doubted the world was experiencing a run on nightlights. The package had to be lost in the mail.<\/p>\n<p>I counted on Christmas to be a haven of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/angels\/peace-on-earth-in-the-parking-lot\/\">peace and good cheer<\/a> for our extended family. We\u2019d come through the pandemic intact, but like everyone else, we were stressed and stretched thin. The children felt it too, and the little ceramic <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/why-its-not-too-early-to-decorate-for-christmas\/\">Christmas tree<\/a> would have lit Maya\u2019s room in a reassuring glow. I called the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d the customer service representative said when I gave her my order number. \u201cThere\u2019s something odd here, and we\u2019ll have to investigate. You\u2019ll get a call back within 24 hours.\u201d Like that would ever happen.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the next day, my phone rang. \u201cFor some reason,\u201d said the service rep, \u201cyour package sat in a Pennsylvania post office for several days. After that, we can\u2019t track it, so I\u2019m marking it lost. We\u2019ll overnight a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not even Santa could have offered better customer service. As promised, the nightlight arrived, and it was just as adorable as I\u2019d hoped. Maya would love it.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, I was talking on the phone with her nine-year-old brother, Chase. \u201cWhat are you hoping to get for Christmas?\u201d I asked. He rattled off several toys. \u201cAnd a new nightlight. I love nightlights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How could I not have known that? Now it was too late to order another one. I couldn\u2019t even dash out to the store because I was at high risk for Covid. I hung up with Chase, imagining his disappointment <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/books\/giving-a-book-as-a-gift-how-to-make-it-extra-special\/\">when he saw his sister\u2019s gift<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The doorbell rang, and Neil came back inside with a package in his hand. \u201cDid you order something I don\u2019t know about?\u201d I shook my head and opened it. The lost nightlight!<\/p>\n<p>I called the company and explained why I should be charged twice. \u201cConsider the extra nightlight our gift to you and your family,\u201d the rep said. \u201cAnd have a very merry Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I knew that a lost nightlight was the least of God\u2019s concerns during a tough holiday season. Yet, the Giver of all good gifts had made sure a pair of mail-order ceramic trees would cast a reassuring glow over our Christmas. A light for all the nights and days to come.<\/p>\n<div class=\"media-youtube-player\"><iframe class=\"media-youtube-player\" src=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2tUVVYtaU8M frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas was just days away, and the charming ceramic Christmas tree nightlight I had ordered for Maya, our six-year-old granddaughter, still hadn\u2019t arrived in the mail. \u201cI ordered it on December sixth,\u201d I grumbled to my husband, Neil. \u201cWhat could be the holdup?\u201d The news was full of stories about empty store shelves and supply-chain [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[135,185],"tags":[24,242,25,40,288,49],"ppma_author":[600],"class_list":["post-16868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiring-stories","category-stories-of-faith-and-hope","tag-christmas","tag-covid","tag-family","tag-holidays","tag-joys-of-christmas","tag-peace"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
