So-Sean and I are walking through walmart getting some of the last of the things-Yes Walmart-that is ALL we have in this little town. So, anyway, I am getting ready for a game night with friends and looking at the chocolate for the chocolate fountain we are setting up for that night and a guy comes walking up. About 25 and very G-Q. Very much like my little brother. He gets so close to me I start backing up and he tells me "I have had a good year this year with my business. Use this or I am sure you know someone who would need this. But if you need it you use it. Merry Christmas" and walks off. He just put a $100 bill in my cart on my jacket. Like the highly intelligent person I am I just stood there staring-

By the time I got myself together he was gone. So I stood. . .and stood. I heard a woman say thank you around the isle-I went over there as he said " you dont need to thank me" to another person and I hugged him.

Talk about Christmas Spirit-

Its paying it forward and I was on both ends of the spectrum. It was weird and very cool at the same time.
