    From NOT ALWAYS RIGHT: Someone Is On The Very Nice List This Year!

    Around Christmastime, a young mother and her son are shopping in our large toy superstore. They both approach me, and the boy politely and precociously speaks to me, without needing to be prompted by his mother.

    Boy: “Excuse me, ma’am? Would you be so kind as to help me find the items on this list I haven’t been able to cross off yet?”

    Me: Looking at the list “I think I can manage most of those! That’s a very long list! Is this a gift list for Christmas?”

    Boy: “My friend at school had his house burn down, and they lost everything. My mom spoke to his mom, and we figured out what Christmas presents he and his brother and sister lost. Everyone in the class donated so we could buy some of them back for them.”

    I have to admit it takes me a moment to recover from hearing those words.

    Me: “You’re doing an amazing thing for your friend and his siblings. Let me see what we can do.”

    I helped them find everything on the list. I also took them to a checkout where my manager was working and reiterated the story. Upon hearing it, the manager put in the staff discount and, as a Christmas gift, gave the boy a $50 gift card for the store so he could get a toy for himself.

    That was my last Christmas working retail, and I am glad I ended it on a high note.

    Not my story.

    We need more Caulfields in this world and fewer Musks!

    Wish I was more like Caulfield and Frazz. Thanks Jef, totally impressed w/ the strip today—even more so than usual.

    We always send food and necessities to shelters. This year I donated my 30 year collection of CDs to the county convalescent center. It was mostly hard rock, AC/DC and such, so I asked first. The woman said they will love it. The Woodstock generation is all in their 70s and older.

    Better check the “use by” & “expiration” dates on the food! Food pantries don’t take food that’s “past due”. Gramma may’ve cleaned out her pantry to give her grandson Christmas presents.

    Instead of holiday gifts this year to all of my sib’s families; my wife and donated about 4x the amount we would have spent to a local community food bank.

    Caulfield can be a snarky little kid, and then he goes and zings you straight to the heart.

    Apparently, Caulfield is generous

    … except when it comes to Mrs Olsen.
