Not that we are rude the rest of the year, but your commitment to contribute to EVERY bucket is a perfect example of the extra effort. I am hoping to visit a few more neighbors than last year. That;s my commitment. Now that I have shared it with you, I will be more likely to follow through. Merry Christmas!Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040402094690264362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-84947558386328394162008-12-11T10:29:00.000-08:002008-12-11T10:29:00.000-08:00I feel guilty now! I saw him and thought the same thing, he was so cute. I never put money in those because I feel like I can't trust people. I need to be better like you, you are so good.Melanie Cainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11477518012007903223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-14294964938925188892008-12-10T15:33:00.000-08:002008-12-10T15:33:00.000-08:00I just saw that guy yesterday! He was great! He was so unique and I have to admit that I didn't realize that he was a salvation army guy. (I walked to the store from the side and he was almost out to the street). He was delightful though! I will have to find him again next time and give him some cash.Smith Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09926409348288301217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-12878295645587266702008-12-09T23:21:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:21:00.000-08:00It's amazing what something so simple can do for you. I remember one day when I was going up the escalator at the mall. I was just minding my own business when this hot shot teenager said "excuse me Miss...you dropped this" I looked at him all confused. He continued..."Your smile, Have a nice day." I couldn't help but smile at him...I thought it was so corny and funny. I'm sure he's quite the player with all that smooth talk. lol.Team Pettijohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16684141007762591699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-86166745924760366852008-12-08T11:28:00.000-08:002008-12-08T11:28:00.000-08:00Wonderful!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03734014895825429358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-60615570986798494582008-12-06T12:27:00.000-08:002008-12-06T12:27:00.000-08:00Okay, I know this is probably wrong of me, but I will totally put more money into the bucket if the person is making an effort. Show me some singing (even bad) and I will dig through the bottom of my purse looking for the spare dime. (Last year Wal Mart had a toothless lady who sang her heart out (badly) all sorts of Christmas Carols. I would get change just for her. She was inspiring, in her own off tune way.)<BR/><BR/>This year our Salvation Army workers aren't as good as the ones we had last year (a lot of your response). I'll have to try Michael's!Santshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04794930956817562515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25906840.post-16675552918905094972008-12-05T13:59:00.000-08:002008-12-05T13:59:00.000-08:00Shelli, you do my heart good.
