In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by ¡°small talk¡±. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. ¡°Nice day, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Terrible weather, isn¡¯t it?¡± But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. In the UK people usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. ¡°Great game, isn¡¯t it?¡± At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. ¡°The bus service is terrible, isn¡¯t it?¡±

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.

I was the nurse on duty that day. I didn¡¯t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.

¡°Are you all sick?¡± I asked.

¡°Yes,¡± she said weakly and lowered her head.

But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little unclear. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren¡¯t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong, but I didn¡¯t say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, ¡°Take your time; it¡¯s warm here.¡±

Then I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address¡ªthey were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

I looked out at the family gathering close together by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and saying something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at something on the Christmas tree.

I went back to the nurses¡¯ station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas, began to feel pity for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there¡¯s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.

Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, ¡°Thanks for being our angels today.¡±
