This chapter is somewhat shorter than usual, but it is one of the bigger miracles. I hope you enjoy!

Mike's POV

I pulled my coat closed tighter to me as I walked to work. There was still no snow, which was unusual, but it was still colder than I can remember it ever being.

I walked into the store I worked at and stood under the heater for a second while I tried to defrost my freezing cold body. I pulled out my phone and called my wife, Jessica, to let her know I had made it to work.

"I made it without freezing to death." I said after she answered.

"I'm glad." She said. "I made it to work also. I can't wait for tax season, we need a damn car."

"I couldn't agree more." I said.

A few weeks ago I was driving around a sharp bend and found myself face to face with a deer in the middle of the road. I swerved and hit his tail end and then took out a tree. The deer ran off, unscathed, as I sat in a totaled car. I should have just hit the bastard.

We have been walking everywhere ever since then. Luckily we live a block from the school so we don't have to walk our two daughters too far to school. Since we don't have the money to replace the car right now we have to wait until we file taxes, which isn't until February. It is going to be a long winter.

After work I bundle back up and walked to the hospital where Jessica is a nurse. I like to walk to the hospital and get her when she's done working and then walk home with her.

"It's so cold out here." Jessica shivered as we walked home.

"When we get home you can take a long hot bath." I said.

"Have I told you lately how great you are?" She asked.

"I believe you said that yesterday, but it's nice to hear." I laughed.

The girls came running at us as we walked in the door. I took my coat off and wrapped my arms around them and took them into the living room. The girls and I watched a Christmas cartoon as we let Jessica take a warm bath.

She did the same for me, so it was fair that today was her day to warm up in a nice bath.

"Rose said that once she gets the parts in for her car and get's it finished we can borrow it." Jessica said as we lay in bed.

"Yeah, Emmett told me that too." I said. "I don't really feel comfortable doing that though. It's Rose's new car, and I would feel so awful if something happened to it."

"I know." Jess agreed. "I told Rose we would be fine. She doesn't exactly take no for an answer though."

"Yeah, Emmett is the same way." I laughed.

Someway we would have to deter Rose and Emmett's plan of loaning us Rose's dream car. It was a nice offer, but I could never take from them. Rose still had a bit of work to do on it, so it was a moot point for now.

"Come on girls, we have to bundle up warm." I said in the morning as we were getting ready for work and to take the girls to school.

"Today is your last day of school for the rest of the year." I said as I helped them on with their coats.

There faces lit up with the idea of no school for the rest of the year. They failed to realize that that was only for a week and a half.

I opened the door and we all walked outside bracing ourselves for the cold. We all stopped on the porch and took in the sight of a man standing on the curb next to a mini-van with a giant red bow on the top of it.

"Can I help you?" I asked the man.

"Are you Mike and Jessica Newton?" The man asked.

"Yes." I answered walking down the steps of the porch coming closer to the man.

"I have a delivery for you." He smiled.

"This?" Jessica asked in amazement pointing towards the van. "You're delivering this to us?"

"Yes." He answered.

"Why?" I asked dumbfounded.

"A Christmas present." He smiled. "All you have to do is sign this paper. Everything has already been done for you, including insurance."

"Who is this from?" I asked still not believing my ears or my eyes.

The man gestured towards the van, or more to the bow, and said, "From Santa of course."

"I can't believe this." Jessica squealed as she threw herself at me and wrapped her legs around my waist as I held her tight.

I signed the papers, was given the keys and the delivery guy left us with our brand new car.

The girls excitedly got into the back of the van and hooked themselves into their seats. "There are TV's back here." They shouted together.

I laughed and turned around to see the TV's that were hooked to the front headrests that were hooked to a DVD player.

"Do you feel that?" Jessica asked with a huge smile.

"What?" I asked.

"Heat!" She said as she held her hands over the heater that was in front of her. "We don't have to walk in the freezing cold anymore."

"I guess we don't." I laughed.
