My children purchased lazor pens at the dollar store tonight and took them outside to play! My neighbor across the road decided to have a lazor war with them from their kitchen window! The kids had a blast and I wanted to thank you for taking the time out of your day to make their night entertaining! It is little things like this that go a long way! They haven't stopped talking about it and I'm sure they will be out again exoecting another war! Merry Christmas

Thank you to the kind gentleman at Tecumseh mall who stopped and gave my two girls each a loonie to go on a ride! They had been out running errands and shopping with my mom & I all day and had been pretty good so they were playing and letting go of some energy...then we ran out of loonies! You made their day by letting them go on one more ride!! Thank you!!

My family and I go through the same Tim Hortons drive through every morning. They always know when we order an extra egg on the side that it's for my 3 year old. Every morning Meghan at the window says hi cutie and talks to my son. He loves it! Today she handed us a gift bag with a Christmas present for my son. He was thrilled! To think that she took time out of her day and spent money on my son its absolutely heart warming. I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness and the way you treat the little love of my life. Thank you for making his day :)

I want to switch it up a bit. Normally we hear from the recipients of good deeds. I'd like to give my perspective from the other side.

It started out while standing in line at Tim Horton's in Tecumseh Mall, last Monday, behind two separate elderly people. The one ahead of the other was searching his pockets for change and told the lady behind him to go ahead of him. She politely refused and said she was in no rush. He demanded a few more times until I just said we must all be the only ones who aren't in a rush to go anywhere. It was in that moment I decided it was time to give back.

When I got up to the counter to place my order, instead of purchasing the coffee I was going to get, I purchased 5 gift cards (each with $5 on it). The first I dropped on the counter and said goes to the next in line; I never saw who that was as I just turned and walked away. I then left the mall and went over to Devonshire Mall. I felt like there was more traffic and a higher level of stress. What I thought would take maybe an hour ended up taking 4. I walked around and gave a gift card to anyone who looked me in the eyes and smiled. I quickly learned that smiles don't come easily. It was very disappointing at this time of year to see so many straight, angry, determined, even sometimes disgusted faces. It's safe to say it wiped the remainder of whatever Christmas spirit I had left in me. I went back to Tecumseh Mall where I had two people smile right away. So I go pick up more gift cards only to not get another smile that night.

It's not over yet though.
Everyday this last week I've been walking the malls giving $5 cash to anyone who smiles at me. I focused most of my time at Tecumseh Mall as that's where I was having the most success; it felt great. I stopped focusing on the amount of people that walked by and focused on the ones who actually smiled. That's why I'm here writing.

This experience has been far more rewarding for me than it could ever have had on those who smiled. My Christmas spirit is at an all-time high also. I want to thank everyone reading this just for being yourselves; and to those at the malls who have made it such a wonderful experience. There's one person in particular that has been amazing, I won't name her though; she'll know who she is if she reads this.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and remember that it pays to smile. I'm still here at the mall hoping to see a few more smiles before Santa arrives on Thursday; he's actually really cool. I've seen him and talked to him a few times. You should come take a picture with him too. You never know, some random person may pay for them again ;-)

My friend and I stopped in at Walmart so she could pick up a Christmas gift for her parents. It was a semi-large and heavy piece of furniture that I thought may or may not fit in my car. We rolled it out into the parking lot (it was cold and around 9:30pm) and tried lifting it into my trunk. of course it didn't fit. We struggled on what to do, and tried lifting it again to try a different angle even though we knew It wouldn't fit. I want to say thank you to the two amazing people who pulled up and offered to put it in their van and drive it all the way back to my friend's house. You two are amazing people, and it really was a selfless thing to do! Merry Christmas !!

I've been considering writing this letter for years, so please read til the end. My personal gift was much more extensive, but the methods are basically the same.

Years ago I found a way to end my depression caused after years of being permanently disabled in an accident. I "Gifted" a Kidney to a stranger for my own selfish reasons. In this letter, I am advocating the donation of a small part of a Liver. My situation worked well, and I actually saved a man's life. You can save someone's life, at no cost to you, and the reason is your own. Most "Living Donations" come from a person close to the recipient, but they are pleased to have any source.

If you donate a part of your Liver, it will be fully re-grown to it's original size within 3 months. All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed, and you will have a complete testing regimen that will find any problem you didn't know you had, or hopefully prove you don't have. All lost pay is returned to you, and your employer will have no choice but allow you the time off work for the testing and recovery.

After my operation, I had a completely different feeling about myself, which was my selfish goal in the beginning. The fact of knowing I saved a person's life has removed the "dome of gloom" I was living under, which others cannot see. When people ask me how I'm doing these days, now I can tell the truth, as opposed to my usual "Getting by" answer. Did I mention the wonderful feeling of knowing you saved someone's life? I repeat this as it is very strong and comforting. I'm a contributing member of Society again.

I understand that this is a very serious subject, but remember Kaidyn Blair, whose life was saved by a Liver donor before he was a year old, and is now a happy, active little man.

If this interests you, please contact The Trillium Foundation and tell them Greg T. sent you. Merry Christmas to all.

To the lady that paid for my families order at Tim Hortons at 5:55am on How/ Tec.
You have been spotted!!!!
Your kind gesture was paid forward, as we did it for the car behind us!!!
Hopefully it carried on all day!!!
Merry Xmas!
