I was walking past the primary school that my kids attend and saw a frail elderly lady having trouble carrying a stack of wrapped Chrissy pressies. I helped her carry them to the teachers she wanted to deliver to - the teachers (who I actually knew as in previous years they had taught my own kids) were obviously very pleased with their pressies. Turned out the father (this lady's son) and the mother had recently had a rather acrimonious split, and the father had just relocated with the kids to the area. The grandma was really impressed with the special attention the teachers had provided to the kids to help them settle in, in this nasty time for the poor kids, so she'd gone out of her way to get them presents - and my help has just reinforced her newfound belief in the strength and friendliness of our local community.
