The story kicks off with a mother and her three children, trying to stay warm by the fire. It is soon learned that the family is awaiting their patriarch to return from military duty. There is a countdown written in children\u2019s handwriting on a small chalkboard stating \u201c183 Days \u2018Till Daddy\u2019s Home\u201d. To their immense surprise, he was right there, staring in through the window at his beautiful family, 183 days early. What a Christmas miracle! And to pay it forward, The Proctors adopt Max, a shelter white Labrador that complete the true zeitgeist of Christmas; giving and showing compassion for those creatures less fortunate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get your copy of John Tracy&#8217;s &#8216;Silent Night&#8217; from his <a href=\"http:\/\/johntracymusic.com\/product\/magical-memories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/magical-memories-john-tracy\/id1176579901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3cjA4lVfwni5BsGEe57h5P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.
