What a great thread! I love hearing how wonderful people are to one another.... and I truly believe that should be happening ALL YEAR ROUND!!!

I try to do something nice for people as often as I can. One time, a friend and I were having dinner and we overheard another table of college age ladies talking about their graduation that weekend! My friend and I decided to pay their bill as a congratulations for them! They came over and personally thanked us. We told them that we were once poor college students and we were happy for them that they were graduating!

But then, even something as small as returning someone's (or sharing your)shopping cart at the store is so appreciated! My sister, niece, and I were 3 of the many crazies that were up and shopping the early bird specials the day after Thanksgiving! And while in Menards, we separated to try to get all that we needed. My niece and I got in the checkout line and my sister was in another... which was moving VERY SLOW! We kept calling one another on our cell phones and camparing lists to make sure we had gotten everything. We were taliking about batteries (40 AA for only $2.00!!!!) and the man behind us let us have 2 of his packages! He said he didn't really need all that he had picked up! How nice! And my sister, well, she made friends with 2 ladies in her line and since shopping carts were in short supply, she shared her cart with the other 2 ladies! They even swapped phone numbers! They were in line for an hour! It was funny. My sister called me and said, "Come back in the store and meet my new friends!" Ahhh, the Holiday spirit!

I love to say, "What goes around comes around!" So keep those random acts going! You will feel so good about doing for others, and one day, someone will do for you!
