Secret Santa

This story at the internet address above tells of a Secret Santa handing out $100 dollar bills in Thrift stores stamped with the words "Secret Santa". Her only condition is that the person do something good for someone else. The idea of helping someone and having them "pass it on" is something sorely needed all over earth during these times. And not just at Christmastime either.

Though I haven't gone around handing out $100 bills I have saved quarters and give out $5 to $10 to any homeless person that I feel is safe enough to do so. Usually, while driving I do this. However, it is important not to make yourself a target in being helpful to others. Your own security must be paramount or else you won't be there for the next person that needs your help.

I give this amount because it is the right amount to buy a meal so that person can survive at least on more day in America.
