STACH Short Story Contest #15: 199 words.|Christmas Special, everyone wins.

Christmas was the best part of the year, as Pat walked into the orphanage she saw gifts, foodstuff and all other supplies piled up at the reception. She was happy and relieved, some days ago she didn't know how she'd raise the money to buy foodstuffs and clothing for the children, but here they where, piled up, just waiting for her arrival. This wasn't the first time with was happening. People felt the need to give on Christmas which made her wish everyday was Christmas. The children looked forward to the Christmas season, because they knew the consequences. When Christmas comes calling, it brought with it gifts and supplies to carry them for two months. That wasn't bad, it was a well deserved break from the tasking job of soliciting for funds for the orphanage. Christmas was her best time of the year, if not for anything, the love that flies around which compels people to give to the less privileged was good enough for her. She heard the laughter that erupted from the dorms and smiled. The spirit of Christmas had come visiting.
