I rang bells for the Salvation Army this week, as I do every year. My bell-ringing partner, a vivacious young woman, would greet people with “Happy Holidays” and a smile as they walked by our kettle. We were both heartened to see how many people responded ‘Merry Christmas’ back to us, and then donated into the kettle.
There are still decent people left in this world. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
What a wonderful thing for you to do. :)
Merry Christmas!
