Last week, The Irish Post reported a sad story.
Gray had spent the last ten Christmases alone.
The newspaper began a campaign to collect cards for Mr Gray.
@blueberrypiefun you can send a card to Mr Gray c/o The Irish Post, 1 Lindsey Street, Smithfield, London EC1A9HP

It wasn't just cards either - invitations to Christmas dinner were extended too.

Mr Gray was floored by the repsonse.
And he's currently considering his options.
Another #JamesGray update for everyone who has emailed. We will be in touch tomorrow morning as we try to put finishing touches on his plans
