How Shaquille O'Neal made a child's nearly impossible Christmas wish come true

In the summer of 1996, Shaquille O'Neal reprised his role as Shaq-a-Claus at a community center in Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Shaq promised to deliver the children's special gifts two days before Christmas. But there was one boy who wanted something he thought was impossible to get. He wanted a white Christmas in L.A. Shaq-a-Claus had a perfect record in gift giving and he wasn't about to let climate conditions stop him, so he got a little creative. On Dec. 23, Shaq arrived with all of the gifts on the children's wish lists, including snow! Shaq organized the delivery of California snow (AKA artificial snow) from San Bernardino National Forest to the Community Center parking lot. undefined
