"Happy Holidays to YOU"

The other day I went to a grocery store on 90th where a very friendly man was ringing the Salvation Army Bell. You know, the guys with the bell and the red bucket, begging for your spare change on your way out of the store. Most of them just nod, or smile, most don't bother you at all really. But this guy was different. He was blessing everyone and was pretty exuberant about the whole thing. I actually thought it was kind of cool and gave him some change. Fast forward to last night. Steve and I are driving through this store's parking lot and I say "hey, there's that same bell ringer from the other day!" Just then, a pretty girl in her twenties goes into the store while saying hello to the man. And as she's passing him he totally checks her out! But as Steve put it "He wasn't just looking, he was taking a long drink of water". I was totally shocked by the man's blatant "looking" (and he was no young guy, he had to have been in his 40s!) who was there to do charity work, but I guess pretty girls going by was just a bonus or something. So all you hot mamas in the neighborhood, next time you go grocery shopping, be sure to look your best so those bell ringers have something to keep them going through those long hours of change collecting!
