A WWII Christmas Story

Christmas can be hard when you're thousands of miles away from your loved ones, and especially when you're facing dangers that could prevent you from ever seeing them again. Anything that makes that ordeal easier is a Christmas miracle. Sean of the South relates one Christmas gift in 1943 that no one involved will ever forget.

The story checks out, but there's a small correction that make it even better. The movie that the sailors received wasn't just still shots, but film footage of wives and children opening the gifts from their husbands and daddies and waving "hi!" to them, all arranged by Macy's. The entire project started out in August, or else it never could have been pulled off.
