Fox News' Brit Hume on the joy of Christmas giving: 'Truly blessed'
Fox News
Receiving Christmas gifts and presents is a great thrill when you're a kid, as the Fox News political analyst makes clear, yet the joy of giving can bring far greater rewards
In Hume's family, the Christmas tree wasn't decorated until Christmas Eve. As a kid, he would "go to bed, struggle very much to fall asleep, and in the morning I'd come out and find that Santa had arrived," he says. "I know that I've been truly blessed and I wish the same to all." — Brit Hume of Fox News in the book ‘All American Christmas’
"There in the living room, this splendid tree was all trimmed and ready to go, complete with gifts beneath it," he adds. "That was such a huge thrill for me."
He also notes that his appreciation "for the joy of giving, and for surprising and delighting other people … didn't fully develop until I was older" — something so many of can identify with, to be sure.
