"Today a lovely Redditor posted that they had a spare ticket to the ballet and gave it to me when I messaged them.
This would be a kind and awesome thing on any day but I’ve wanted to see the Nutcracker ballet since I was a little girl and it’s just not something I could justify spending the money on.
Well I hopped on a bus up to the west end in London and my inner child lit up with joy
If you see this please know you made my entire year"

"My Son Had A Speaking Part In A Play At His School Despite Speech Issues!"
"My son is in the 4th grade now, and he’s had speech issues since he first started speaking that were severe enough to require an IEP at school, along with +5 years of Speech Therapy after school.
This interfered with his confidence quite a bit, as one could imagine. His dad and I always felt like we had to “translate” whenever he was talking to someone! And he has worked SO unbelievably hard to overcome these issues, but he definitely still struggles from time to time when he’s talking too fast and stuff.
Despite all of this, he decided that he wanted a speaking part in this year’s Christmas Musical at his school! I was so nervous that he wouldn’t talk clearly enough for the audience to understand- but holy s**t he impressed me SOOO much!!!! I never would have imagined him being able to do something like this, and it was absolutely incredible!"

"This was many years ago but my dad had been laid off work and we just didn’t have money to buy a tree. They never told me that we were struggling financially, they just made me believe it was a fun bonding activity instead of being “lazy” and buying a tree. So we went to our nearby park, collected some branches and spray painted it lol. This was hands down my favorite Christmas and I’ll never forget it. I love my parents."

"My First Solo Christmas Tree"
"This might be very off topic, but this sub feels like home and I just thought it'd be the best place to share something that feels very important to me :D
Decorating our huuuge Christmas tree was always a big big family thing during my childhood, and I loved it. It filled me with joy. When I moved out of my parent's house, I tried to build the same tradition with my now ex-boyfriend, but it was never quite the same. We recently broke up, I came out as a lesbian, and my life has changed so much in the past few months. It hasn't been easy, and I thought that decorating my small Christmas tree by myself for the first time of my life was going to be difficult. It wasn't. I listened to Christmas songs the whole time, and I felt incredibly happy. I'm really grateful for this little space of mine "
