The Christmas spirit is alive and well!

I did some shopping at costco tonight. The person working there said the man in front of you is paying for your things. I was speechless, he looked at me and said don't argue, this is my way of saying Merry Christmas to someone. I said that is so sweet, may I in turn donate this amount to the SPCA I am volunteering for and he said do something with kids, do you have kids? I said yes I have 2 children and he said just do something for them.

Well I gave about 150 dollars worth of toys and food to a poor school our school sponsored and my kids have more than enough so I think I am going to donate this to one of the dogs at the shelter that has stolen my heart and is fighting mange.

What a nice man...I had $120.00 worth of stuff. I think I was dressed better than him, I don't mean that in a mean way I just mean I don't think I looked poor and he didn't look rich.

That's amazing, what a special experience. It brings back the faith that there are still kind and caring people out there. I know when I was at the humane society and adopting Raven and the lady told me the total of her adoption fee, I wrote out a check for double that and said the rest was a donation. The shock on her face told me not many people do that, and it made me feel really good . I couldn't bring two home with me, but I could give a bit to help another.

I think you should go with your heart on where you choose to turn the generosity on to another. Thanks for sharing that experience

Yes it is refreshing, after working at the humane society I was seriously losing faith in the human race.

So many people question the small adoption fee and I wonder if they realize how much care the spca has put into those animals and how much the animal will cost to be properly cared for in the future.

There was a man in a small town store near where I lived that did the exact same thing some years ago... Maybe it is REALLY Santa and he gets around year after year!

That's like that movie, Pay It Forward.

What a nice Christmas story.
