Monday night I was leaving Metro with my 4 year old daughter and 7 year old niece. As we got near the Tim Hortons booth I whispered to the girls 'say Merry Christmas to the lady behind the counter I bet it will make her day' as we walked by both girls smiled and loudly said Merry Christmas' the girl working looked up with a huge smile and said 'Merry Christmas' my 7 year old niece looks at me with pure excitement and says 'she smiled she was so happy we said that'. Then a young guy - maybe 20 walks by ... without missing a beat the girls say it again. He looked at them with a huge smile and replied Merry Christmas! Thank you to you both for making a point to acknowledge these two young girls who were learning a life lesson. We talked about how someone could be having a bad day and a simply Merry Christmas could turn their day around.
