It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.

It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas---oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it--overspending, the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma, the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else.

Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.

You can once again listen to over four hours of commercial-free Christmas music on AllWorship.com from now through December 25th! Enjoy wonderful Christmas songs from the leading contemporary Christian artists. And, like all our music, it's free to listen from any computer, tablet or smartphone. Available only in our basic stream. Click here to listen

We receive emails from our listeners around the world every month and they are so encouraging and humbling to us. We?d like to share some of those with you:
