All Devin Kohlman wants for Christmas this year is ... Christmas. And the entire community of Port Clinton, Ohio, banded together to ensure that the eighth-grader, who has terminal brain cancer, would get his wish. On the day that Kohlman was released from the hospital, his big-hearted neighbors were putting the finishing touches on a massive Christmas display, including a freshly cut and trimmed tree, a gazebo adorned with decorations and a giant star that read "Merry Christmas, Devin." Later that night, as he watched from his mother's window, hundreds of people sang carols and chanted his name. And, of course, Santa Claus made an appearance, rolling into town on his motorcycle (it's still early for the reindeer) and promising Devin that he would "get the moon" this year. "You guys, Santa Claus on a motorcycle got the biggest smile I've seen in a while," Devin's mother, Alexis, shouted to the crowd. Merry Christmas, Devin.

a tear in my eye, a lump in my throat, this what America is all about.
Imagine that, some folks still have a heart! It takes tragedy to have us act like human beings!
