    There are people that do get forgotten this time of year.. Some things you can do are leave cookies and a drink with a note for your trash men, mail man. If you receive good service from a waitress and want to really get a tickle in your tummy when they bring that $25.00 bill leave a 50 and write merry Christmas on the ticket, tip the drive through cashier, buy lunch for your bank tellers, tape a Christmas card on the mail box for you mail carrier. Pay for the cars lunch behind you in the drive trough. Spend the 50.0-75.00 and have Chick-fil-a cater for your daycare, or even better pick some one at random and send the flowers..that lady that gave you her card because she sale makeup.

    People forget how far common courtesy goes with people..things like simply speaking to the person beside you at Wal-mart or really listening when some one talks. When you ask "how are you?" really be interested..

    One of the greatest feelings you can ever have is doing a totally anonymous selfless act of kindness. It's like Secret Santa you get to know that that person is getting a small token of kindness from a total stranger for nothing more than being alive..

    I did this just this last weekend, some kids at the movies playing a game waiting on their movie to start, they had ran out of money but were still hanging out. I walked up to the game they were playing plugged 5.00 in it started playing. When I'd burned through .50 of the 5.00 I turned around to the kids and said "hey my movies starting here there's 5.00 in this one have fun.." You would have though I'd just given them as free pass to Disney word.. and what did it cost me $4.50 to make some kids happy..

    Please remember your not going make a difference to the whole world, but you might change the whole world for one person.. story goes a kid is walking down the beach picking up starfish that have washed up on shore, throwing them back into the ocean. An old man see's this and feels the need to tell the boy he's wasting his time. "You know you can't throw them all back don't you?", "Yes" replied the boy still throwing the star fish back, "Then why don't you just stop wasting your time, since you can't save the all it doesn't matter?", The little boy looks down at the animal in his hand's kind of sadly, He heave's it back in to the ocean, looks at the man and say "It mattered to that one".
