Goodwill
OK, long time no post... seems that everyones relying heavily on facebook these days [boo, facebook]
Anyway, as people seem to be aware, this christmas, the 'christmas spirit' is sorely lacking. I know I've been having a hard time caring [or indeed remembering its christmastime].
The other day i remarked to someone that commercialism had grown like a rata [or another parasitic plant, although probably not mistletoe] around the sturdy trunk of christmas, silently killing it and supplanting it. And not the economy's gone pear shaped, killing the commercialism-rata and showing the lifeless christmas-trunk left inside.
But anyway, today i found this story. Its maybe not christmas themed [although its surely one of those holiday 'human interest' stories], but its heartwarming. Its nice to think that there aer still good people out there, especially ones who can keep it up for a year. and that are willing to dedicate that much effort to remaining anonymous as they intended.
It appeals to me on a variety of levels, and i just thought i'd share it to air out the bah humbugs.
Everyone have a merry christmas [eve]6
