We're getting into the season of giving (thanks and gifts), and sometimes we're looking to do a little more than normal. If we can all do a little something extra for someone else, it sure would make this place a lot brighter! And we're not talking about giving away your Jaguar (like in the movie "Pay It Forward"), but just a small token of appreciation or a hand out to a stranger may make their season (and yours) a lot warmer.
