We all can get a bit discouraged this time of year, for a variety of reasons. The over commercialization of the holiday, rotten economies, you name it... there's always as much humbug as joy to go around. Well, here is something to lift your spirits... for everyone, but especially for those who are feeling exceptionally blue, for whatever reason.

2 years after death, woman gets her Christmas Wish for family
Brenda Schmitz had always been touched by the “Star” 102.5 Christmas Wish program that a Des Moines radio station runs each year.
“About a week and half ago we got a letter in the mail,” Scott Allen said Friday night. He’s the brand manager at the station, KSTZ “Star” 102.5 FM. “We’ve been doing the Christmas Wish program for 20-plus years. We’ve never received a wish like this, ever.”
The letter was from Schmitz, written over two years ago, one month before she died of ovarian cancer. She asked a friend to wait until Schmitz’s husband, David, had found a new love to marry before delivering the letter. The station every year takes submissions of Christmas Wishes and consults with local partners to grant some of them.
Here is the video of her husband's visit to the radio station where he is told what his Christmas Wish is and who it came from:
