Magic Christmas Roses

I work at a spiritual bookstore and before Christmas, the owner was given 2 dozen roses by two different people. The roses wilted and faded, as they do when you've had them for over a week, and she was going to throw them out, but decided to offer them to me. I took them home Christmas Eve. They had been out of water for most of the day and that night, I put them in my Christmas Tree, because I thought they looked kind of cool in a dried up kind of way.
Right after midnight on Christmas Eve, both sets reversed death and re-bloomed. They opened up big and wide and regained all of their color. They stayed that way until after the sun came up on Christmas Day.
I shared this story with my mom and gave her some of the rose petals. She exclaimed by saying, "Oooh, that's creepy!"
Now, here's the interesting thing. My mom has a rosebush that was given to her by her father, my grandfather, a few years before he passed away. It never blooms unless somebody dies in our family. Then it will bloom one rose for that person. So I said to her, "Okay, these are magic Christmas roses. You have creepy Grandpa roses, which only bloom when somebody's going to die. Please!" I was laughing when I said this and she laughed too and put the rose petals in a special, tiny vase.
