Do you have any stories, either from your personal experience or someone else’s of an ocarina that has added to a holiday or special occasion in some way?

Well, my son and I played a duet on the ocarina for my parents at their fiftieth wedding anniversary. People expressed to us that it was a moving experience, and I know that my son felt great about having done it. He also had a very positive experience last year playing for residents at a local nursing home at Christmas time.
