Have you christmas day ornament

christmas day ornament


An unusual thing happened on a common Christmas Day, which shocked me all the time no matter when I recall it. It is so quiet that we can hear nothing except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses' station grumbling about having to work on Christmas Day. I was triage nurse that day and had just been out to the waiting room for a cup of hot cider our hospital brought in for Christmas. I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room - a mother and four children between four and ten years of age. The nurses, grumbling about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. As seriously as we met physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. We took turns joining the Christmas party in the waiting room. One of my coworkers gave them a gift which was presented by her boyfriend as his Christmas gift purchased from when they left. All of us hope everybody can spend a warm and happy Christmas Day every year.
