Margaret's best Christmas. Margaret sat at the window sill as she watched Mike, her husband drive out of the garage downstairs. A tear dropped down her eye and she curled her lips to begin silent crying. Today was Christmas. It was supposed to be a day of happiness and laughter in gratitude to the birth of Jesus Christ.
