Sharing my Christmas (totally non-supernatural) miracle:
My theist girlfriend on Christmas Eve: “For the first time ever I went to mass and thought it was ridiculous. I was just like, this is nuts. The priest was like ‘oh, we have to convert the rest of the world, the baby Jesus spoke to us as an infant without speaking, etc.’ I almost laughed.”
Well I think I was the first vocal atheist she had ever met so arguments with me and me making fun of superstition while not being a bad person were probably crucial. Some Less Wrong stuff probably got to her through me, though. I should find something to introduce the site to her, though I doubt she would ever spend a lot of time here.

This made me say “Awwwwwwww...”
Did LW play a part, or was she just browsing the Internet?
