[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1072080, member: 32753"] Some years ago I was delivering to an office where I had to walk down a short corridor and around a bend to reach the receptionist's desk. When I did turn the corner the receptionist smiled and mentioned how much she liked hearing the jingling of our keys on our fingers this time of year, bearing gifts like Santa on his sleigh. I do not celebrate Christmas, but her comment made me smile that day, and still elicits one now. Yesterday as I completed my delivery at a house and got back on the truck, a young man shouted out "Sir!" When I turned around he handed me a Coke and said, "Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas! Here's a couple of candy canes as well!". The kindness one finds this time of year is very refreshing, however hard that peak day might be. For the past several weeks my helper has been in a rather foul mood. He was pushed over the top on Friday when he saw the dues come out of his check and wanted to quit then, but said he'd stay to help me finish. Before he left I slipped him an envelope thanking him for his service this peak. He came close to crying, thanked me effusely (?), and begged me to let him help on Monday as well. [/QUOTE]
