Christmas is a snowball’s throw away and we’re knee-deep in watching comfy reruns of the Harry Potter movies. Because it’s been a tough year, we want to get you Pandas into the holiday mood.

Christmas truly is the time of miracles, and one such miracle has recently fallen into the hands of a visually impaired girl from Mission, Kansas named Emrie. Emrie is a little girl who was born with a very rare gene anomaly that left her without vision. According to her aunt Katelyn Suter, the girl learned braille when she was only 4 years old and now she's reading years above her age level.
