Across town, on Christmas morning, a little girl tried on her new pink coat and squealed. She looked in the mirror and began to twirl.

Jenna dried her tears before driving to the mall to buy a holiday gift for a needy child. It was her tradition, donating presents in memory of the daughter that passed long ago. This year she learned of a little girl at the homeless shelter who needed a winter coat and picked out a lovely, pink down jacket with matching gloves and a hat.
