The Shopping Cart Man
''The Shopping Cart Man'' is a return to good, old-fashioned warm-and-fuzzy American values. It is slice of Americana from the 1970s. A family on a cross-country road trip to spend Christmas with their grandmother learn what it means to be modern day Good Samaritans when they encounter a lost soul whom they first pity, then befriend, and eventually learn to love. The plot thickens when the man begins suffering troubling flashbacks of his forgotten past. When they eventually part, the man goes on a personal quest to discover who he is and how he came to be homeless. Inspired by actual events, this story will touch your heart and make you ponder what tremendous impact little acts of kindness can do for others.

I love Christmas stories, whether they are well written or not. I just love stories about people helping people. This is a great example of a story that is not well written. It isn't even that believable as a story. The homeless man that they randomly pick up turns out to be the long lost grand-father of the children and doesn't remember because of amensia. Yeah, right! Not one of the classics of Christmas and probably not a keeper.
