I went to get a new ID made up this morning. While waiting for my card a little girl around 2 approached me. Her dad calling for her to return to where he was. Little girl walked away to the newspaper stand and grabbed the daily newspaper. She came back to where I was sitting, and separated the first section from the rest of the newspaper and handed it to me. I smiled and thanked her! How cute! Dad came over and said (almost apologetically) "She does this everywhere. In the doctor's office, she hands out magazines to everyone..." She puts the "awwww" in awesome. —Best wait for my licence EVER.

To the most special girl I have ever met, this is for you. We were together for about 3 years and the first year was great. After that you brought 2 little beautiful girls into my life and I could not be more happy, we had our bad times but you stuck them out till the end. I know I did wrong and I will always be sorry for everything I did but you are really truly a great mom and a wonderful person and I am so happy that you were part of my life. So this is a thank you for everything you have done and for bringing the 2 most special little girls into my life. —Italian Syko

Thank you to the people who cared enough to speak up and help me get on a bus to go home with my 2 kids!! It's hard to travel with 2 small kids and it also makes it even harder when you cant afford a double stroller to travel with. The stroller I had was a loner for the day, it was big but it did the job and also it did not block the aisle but the bus driver did not care and I was told I would have to go and get a new stroller. Being on social assistance I can't afford to go and get a new stroller I can't even afford to buy gifts for my kids for Christmas sooo thank you to the lady who took my number because you have a stroller that you no longer need. It was really appreciated. Christmas time is hard for low income people and traveling is even harder with 2 small kids any parent of more than one kid knows this. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a good New Year. Much love. —Momma of 2 with a big double stroller

To the lovely young guy who showed me that there is still kindness in the world, thank you! I was sitting on the 55 bus at the bridge terminal, when two elderly ladies got on. One of them had dropped a glove on the ground outside and not noticed. This young guy jogged out of the shelter and out of his way, grabbed the gloved and rushed up the steps to return it to her. You sir, made me smile and reminded me that there are in fact nice guys out there, for that I thank you! —Splex girl

We go to school together and receiving your smiles at random has become the highlight of my days. I've accepted that I will probably never muster up the courage to approach you and my cowardice has become a running joke among friends. I'm usually exceptionally outgoing and personable, but whenever you walk within fifty feet of me I melt into a puddle on the floor. The one time you spoke to me, my feeble attempt at a response was drowned out by the microwave I was heating my coffee in. Maybe, two years of sneaking smiles at each other almost everyday is actually an "a beautiful mind" esque illusion I've concocted in my head for entertainment. Could be! You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and I feel so cheated by my awkward nature. —Little Photographer

At my certain water front college: Every single time I see you I stop and stare because you are so amazingly gorgeous. Like today when you were going onto the commons after lunch and I was trying to carry a conversation... I want to send some love to you for Christmas. —Love stoned

I remember feeling absolute love, I remember the voice telling me to forgive. But it took too long, I ruined it all but even a year later, I love you more and more each day. It hurts now, I hope I can change and somehow show you that our love is true and we are meant to be together despite our mistakes and our problems, I want to do this right. I'm never going to feel love like that again, unless I get a second chance with you, A... —C

Glitter people, how über fab you are! I will miss the pink door and the relentless pranks. How I learned to use Ze and Hir, I think that needs a special thanks. Ohh how I will miss the pranks. Pregnant women eating and strange noises from the disaster office. I will miss you and maybe I would even go as far as saying that I love you, the place and time. But I'm stoic, so don't count on it. Hej du. —Merna

To the lovely people who helped me out when I was struggling to carry my weight in painting supplies- you’re the best! You went out of your way to grab me a backpack and then carefully loaded all my stuff in it, which made my walk home a million times easier. I wish I could have repaid you somehow! Thanks again- It’s great to know that there are such caring people out there. —Grateful

I love that in just a few short days the stores and businesses will close and the city will once again shut down for that once a year event of Christmas eve. I love that even the Tim Horton's light are shut off for the rare evening and everything is quite. That no one can stress about the last minute thing to buy because there's nothing open. I love that everyone is home, hopefully with family or someone they love. I'm grateful for the friends and family I will get to visit, and the look on everyone's faces when they open that gift that was so hard to find. Most of all I'll love the quiet evening of Christmas eve when my son is asleep and the hours I'll spend with my partner trying to put together his toys. It will all be worth it seeing his face glow all morning... all to the sounds of Alabama Christmas. —Real Chick
