Answer:
AN UNEXPECTED GIFT
The figure shivered as he watched the family go about opening presents, shaking off the cold he began walking up the snowy pathway to the front door, still watching the cheery family.
He walked through the front door and brushed off his nice black suit and wiping the snow from his slicked-back hair, Entering the room where the family had congregated around the large Christmas tree, he felt the heat from the fireplace — and a twinge of sadness in his frostbitten cheeks.
When he walked into the room, no one noticed him, or even had the faintest idea that he was present. The father with his Santa hat was passing out the presents to family members. The grandfather was ruffling the oversized wool cap on the little boy’s head as the small child giggled.
None of them noticed.
He found an empty chair where he could sit and watch the family. As he sat down, he saw a dog at the grandfather’s feet, which eyed him for a moment, but then went back to its master’s petting hands.
The little boy had just opened his last present and looked over to the chair. The boy smiled, He realized the boy was looking at him! He was shocked. All he could do was wave back.
Something like that had never happened to him before. He looked behind and around himself to make sure. He honestly didn’t know what to make of the situation.
The little boy broke off from the group and walked over to him, cap still on his head.
"How come you got no Cwissmass pwesents, Mista?" the little boy asked.
“Because I’m not part of your family" Death replied. The boy looked smiled and he took off his hat.
"You take. It’ll keep you wawm."
And the boy gave his oversized cap to him. The boy started to turn around, but the man stopped him. “Your grandfather forgot a presents up stairs. You should help him with it, otherwise he may fall and hurt himself.”
The boy smiled at him. “OK, Mista. Mewwy Cwissmass!”
"Merry Christmas" he said
The boy turned and ran to his grandfather.
The man had no more business here.
Then he remembered the wool cap he was holding. He put it on and took one last look back at the house, He turned disappearing into the night
The figure leaned against the wall in the funeral home, next to the white-haired old man. It had been 13 years since he had last visited this family.
The funeral was beautiful. People laughed and cried together. He looked back to the boy, who pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. He watched the boy place it on the casket, and saw the writing on the note:
“To the man whom I gave my woollen hat:
Thank you for the extra time with my Grandfather. Please take him safely.”
Death simply smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked off into the night.
