Christmas Kindness Abounds

"The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness.  It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world's busy life and become more interested in people than in things."
~ Thomas S. Monson

With all the last-minute hurry scurry on the street, it is refreshing to hear stories of kindness.  Last evening, a friend shared that as she hunted for a parking space, she saw a driver backing out and she made way for him.  The space was a valet space, but the gentleman from the valet service insisted that she park there as she had been so helpful.  I also heard from my friend in Australia about kindness on a bus in Sydney:  A mother with two toddlers and an infant was on the bus and getting ready to get out at her stop.  An older woman asked the mother if she could help her unload her cargo.  The older woman led the toddlers off the bus while the mother maneuvered the infant in the stroller.  Kindness certainly makes it feel like Christmas!
