Holidays

I saw a girl today wearing a santa hat with "happy holidays" written on it. And while it was a little dorky, it definitely put a smile on my face, and I have to give that girl props for that. Then, I went to my school's holiday music festival, where a massive choir and orchestra played beautiful music, and it just made me happy and also put a big smile on my face. It just made me think of the little things in life that sometimes we take for granted, like corny christmas music, or a santa hat. And its these little things that can really make in a difference, especially when you're feeling stressed out or just plain sad, to make a bad day a little brighter. So next time you drive by a park, you should stop and swing, or smile to random people on the street, and think about how you can make someone's day.

I read in the Denver Post yesterday about a woman with four small children (only 2 were her own) eating lunch at a Village Inn, and a man dressed like Santa dined at the next table. After he left, the hostess came by with a gift card that said, Merry Christmas, from Santa, and had enough money to pay their whole bill. I almost cried, it was such a great random act of kindness.
