-New Urban Geshenktüte -On The First Day of Christmas...

Merry Christmas and to all our our NUY 40+ readers, supporters and friends. ‘Tis the season to wish one another joy and peace, so before we get to today's extra special holiday NUY 40+ Grab Bag, we want to take a moment to send glad tidings to you, our dear friends-  may you feel love and the true Spirit of Christmas this special day! For today's entertainment post:

Inspired by a true story: Jackie Turner is a straight-A college student who had a rocky childhood. Although she has resolutely turned her life around,  for the Jackie the holidays are still a tough time. Facing another lonely holiday break on campus, Jackie takes an ad online for My One Christmas Wish — a family for Christmas — and even offers to pay $8 an hour. To her surprise, responses flood in.  Among the numerous heartfelt invitations and letters of support, she also hears from other young people struggling with the same overwhelming emptiness. Moved and inspired, Jackie decides to throw a big Christmas party — with the last-minute help of her adviser, friends and support group — to find families for all those troubled folks who emailed her, and one for herself.  Starring "Glee" star Amber Riley.
