Some strange reason, I was thinking about this song and then the movie that was made based off of it (tear jerker, especially in some scenes every time I watch it. I recommend to watch it if you haven't since I don't want to spoil it). It's in the middle of June too.
A lot of people think that since the song's based off of someone's mother being ill that the fact it took for the mother to be ill and dying, to have a son wanting to get a present was what it took for the person to help learn something from it. That could bring truth since technically it did happen, but really I think the message could imply since with all the sadness and things that happen such as this, people sometimes forget that because of them wanting more or tend to themselves for their own wants they don't realize they have things that other people struggle through to survive with and have the misfortune of these events happening to them. "God had sent that little boy to remind me", reminding for what every human being should have and humble themselves when seeing someone going through a crisis that unfortunately does happen either way that we should help whenever there's an opportunity to help lighten the burden on the victim and make it less tough of a place to be while having things happen in our lives. It can happen all year around and not just at Christmas time, and really they say Christmas because of Christian-based belief they have around that time and pretty much do what the person/God they look up to would. The man happened to be there and learned that they should see the light from someone else even if they're not the ones going through such a time and as said it could make the world a less tough of a place with others concern and help even if you don't know them.
It doesn't have to mean that it's all a Christian thing or that it all has to be from God, some like the person who made this song would think it is and you can be an atheist and just learn this moral too even if nobody else to give that credit to or whatever. But this is my opinion and maybe I am looking too much into it, but that's sort of what I learned after many times of listening to the song. And recommended to watch the movie to maybe see where I can also come from with this. :)
