Here is mireya villarreal. Gentlemen and gina bought this a potted scotch pine 34 years ago when it was 3 feet tall. It looks different every year. Some years are good. Some years are not. You happen to catch it on a real good year. In 1983 it was so small it could only hold one string of lights. When the holiday was over out it went not to the trash or recycling bin, but to a new home in the yard. Its got its own shape, character. But still growing. A few years later, joe and gina had two little boys who grew to love Christmas Morning around their tiny tree. Now, 27 and 31, it is the only Christmas Tree michael and joseph have ever known. If someone is more traditional for a triangular tree, thats great. But it is really what the tree representatives. It is like people. It has the good years. Bad years. But, you know, even when we thaw it wasnt going to make it. They were like, what are you going to do . Cant get rid of the tree. This is our tree.

The tree is a time capsule of their lives. It was here when ginas parents were arrive and shared the holidays with them, it was here when michael was diagnosed with leukemia, age 13 and five years later in remission. Really a family member. Bringing it in. Okay. Time for you now. Ive taken care of you the whole year. Your turn. Show time. It represents tradition. Brings back memories. It will continue to be here as the the family makes new memories, afterall, the scotch pine could be around 100 years. So many people have touched this, our lives. Been part of that tree.

Across the coast at newark International Airport in new jersey, there was a controlled chaos. I figured everybody would be in for the holidays. But, i guess this is a huge travel day. Left a lot more time to travel. Thought it would take a lot longer. Nationwide, more than 60 flights were canceled. And over 1900 delayed. According to flight aware, and those numbers were expected to increase. Without a doubt the travel for the year end holiday has the, has, a lot to do with airfares being lower.

Here is better news though, it is going to be heavy rain right along the coast from new york up to boston although eventually see snow wrapping around. But this is going to add snow to the ground. For those that are traveling. Unfortunately on christmas day. One to three, just inland of new york. However the totals go up quickly for new england with 6 to 12, foot of snow or more for locations. Unfortunate leave the lakeeffect snow bands are going to have to deal with that. Loits cases have picked up, one, three, four inches of snow in the midwest. It begs the question, who gets the White Christmas . Well some of the locations you kind of expect. We have the snow on the ground in chicago. But all way over off to new england. With the system that will roll through as we head into christmas day. For a good portion of the Northern Rockies and also up into locations that may not normally see a White Christmas. Places like, seattle. Especially some of the higher especially some of the higher elevations. Unfortunately, they do have some rainshowers that will start to change over to of a little built of snow. Thats going to make for snowy travel here and parts of the rockies when you head farther to the east. That snowy travel, not just if you are concerned abumt, traveling by air, but also if you are traveling on the roadways. Once the snowy system moves out. Builter bitter cold weather moves in. Two side of President Trump. This Christmas Eve. He praised american servicemen and women stationed around the world and took to twitter and blasted the fbi deputy director. Chip reid is in florida with the president. I just wanted to wish everybody a very, very, merry christmas. From his estate in palm beach, President Trump sent Christmas Greetings by teleconference to Service Members overseas. We are grateful for each of you who spend this christmas away from your families. But he had a very different tone on twitter. Lashing out once again at deputy fbi director andrew mccabe, mccabe had a supervisory role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and mr. Trump claims mccabe was biased in clintons favor why because in 2015 when mccabes wife was running for the virginia senate, she received a large political contribution from a pac connected to clinton friend, terry mccaulough, in his tweet, trump wrote, mccabe in addition to getting awe the money from clinton puppet, he was using allegedly fbi office email to promote her campaign. Mr. Trump provided no evidence mccabe did that. Democrats say the president s attacks are just another attempt to divert attention from special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. Into the trump campaigns contacts with russia. Cbs news has learned that mccabe has decided retire from the fbi by march. White house official, mark short was asked if it is helpful for the president to repeatedly attack top fbi officials. I think the president believes the American People have a right to know what happened with that investigation. We are told the president is still celebrating passage of the republican tax cut bill. Sources with firsthand knowledge tell cbs news, that he told a eu all just got a lot richer. Demarco. Chip reid reporting. Chip, thank you.

With George Bailey after a lifetime of doling out kindness, finally gets it all back. In full measure. To my big brother george. The richest man in town. Kindness rarely parades into your living room after all. But it can appear in places you dont really expect. All the trees were here. And there was some, in the back. For tracy bild, the parking lot of the dairy queen. 30 years ago tonight. Off awe my mom loves christmas. We were very much about christmas. We didnt have money for a Christmas Tree. That was the reality. Yes, on that Christmas Eve here in urbana, ohio, there is no tree, no presents, no money. Except for the few joins she and her brother scrounged out of the couch cushions. How much did you come up with . Wasnt much. Quarters, dimes. Probably a dollar. Nonetheless, they took their meager offering to the only tree lot in town. At the dairy queen.

You know the thought of my children, guys. Go this way. Walking a couple miles. In hopes of finding on Christmas Eve, a Christmas Tree to. Take home to their mom. I can imagine that must have touched his heart. Touched indeed. He not only gave him the tree. He gave them his biggest and best. No questions asked. It was about, the magic of christmas. Of, human kindness. And, and, somebody doing something for us. We did not expect someone to do. Not expecting it what makes kindness so special. Yet as unexpected as it is. We still crave kindness. Which may well be because, researches shows being kind is a natural part of the human condition. Jen itically, wired to be kindness. Our deepest identity. David hamilton, a former chemist from scotland. Its unhealthy. Not being kind, we feel separate, disconnected. Unhappy. And some things. And, some of it. He made a career, lecturing, writing how kindness isnt something we do. Or something we feel. It is something our bodies, actually need. Being kind because it makes you feel warm and connected. Changes the internal, biochemistry of your body. There is a physical effect. Physical effect. The opposite of strels. Really. There is a hormone that its troe that is produced every time we do something kind. It is the can iness hormone. One thing it does. It softens the walls of the arteries. Almost. Funny. Like, like a, as you become softer towards people, so you softer on the inside actually. Softens the walls of the arteries. When that happens. The heart doesnt have to push as hard to get the blood through. Blood pressure drops. You can get that healthy effect by doing nothing more than offering a smile. So doesnt have to be some, some, some grand gesture. Right . Its, it is the consistency of doing small things that thatter more than doing one grand gesture. Elizabeth Higgins Clark and her feeian stay found that out. When i gave when they set out to do one small act of kindness every day. For an entire year. What was the reaction .

Crossing guards. Ups drivers. Anyone we could think of. When they ran out of their idea. The day we visit theyd were making care packages for the homeless. They found, after 365 days of doing small acts like this that kindness was like a muscle. If it went unused it would atrophy, the urge to be kind would go away. Once you keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Build it up. An, and, it changes. Like a workout. The it is. The more you do it. The more comfortable you are. The better you are at it. Which would seem to suggest the earlier you start being kind the better. My job is to figure a we to go into a school and make kindness cool. Of and be brave yeah everybody is going to be kind . Yes. Everybody say change the world. Brian williams the founder of think kindness. The program he deviled up for schools to teach kids no kind act is too smault.
