The Angels Came . . .



They don’t all have wings and they don’t all fly. And you can find some right here in the customers who patronize the Bridgewater Commons Mall who have responded to the Salvation Army’s call for help.

Remember those two Angel Wish Trees, one in front of Macy’s on the main floor and the other on the lower level near the courtesy booth?

The wish tags are gone from those trees now, and the evidence that human angels have responded can be seen in the photo of the large box brimming with come-true wishes in front of the customer information booth on the lower level, near Santa’s workshop.

The box is now gone as well, and the gifts are on their way to making Christmas brighter for people whom we don’t really know and whom we will never see. Then again (who knows?), perhaps there will come a time when all those local angels who helped someone have a Merry Christmas will indeed come face-to-face with those they benefited. . . . . .
