They always do....with no fanfare or publicity.
God bless ‘em!
Hubby always rolls his eyes at Christmas time because I simply CAN NOT pass by a bell-ringer without throwing in money.
Then I’ll come back to the truck to ask for more cash for presents and he says [rhetorically of course] “And what happened to the money I just gave you?”....LOL
[hey...it’s not *my* fault there’s one parked every hundred feet or so and I can’t “pick just one”]
He’s actually grabbed me by the arm and tried to drag me past them before I can do anything but I’ll pull out a dollar, ball it up, throw it towards the pot and yell “Catch this!!” to the bell ringer....:))
[after all these years, you;d think he’d just give up and accept it]...;]
