To the guy who left me a $10 tip and wished me "Merry Christmas" when I was having a particularly awful night at work: thank you so much for taking two seconds to offer a discouraged girl some kindness. You're my Christmas Miracle. —A distraught waitress

I love that with the colder weather I am seeing so many Jayne Cobb hats around the city. Every time I see one it makes my day better. —Fellow Firefly geek

I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas! During this time of year it's hard to imagine I will not be spending time with your lovely family. Last year we had the chance to re-kindle our love but things didn't work out for us! I know you’re happy now and things are excellent with your company; I’m super proud of you and your great job! Although it didn't work out for us, I know I will always have a soft spot for you and thank you for sharing your life with me. You inspire me and always have! I love your work and love your style but for our reasons, we know we’re just not meant to be forever. Enjoy your family and Christmas holidays and Please send my love to your MOM!

Christmas on the West Coast isn’t the same. —L

If you see this you'll already be heading to the airport, where you'll no doubt hold doors open for strangers, help people with heavy parcels, and strike up adorable conversations with everyone you meet. I admire you for taking risks and following your heart. You're a generous and warm girl, you deserve all the success in the world with your next adventure! —Mellow Yellow

I haven't even met you yet, but I know your numerology vibe, the way you roll off my tongue, the way you erase every vestigial evil of the year past-will bring love and joy at last. —Waiting for Mr. 4

Thank you, to whomever it was that found my son's homemade dragon mittens and stuck them in the fence by the Quinpool Superstore. He really loved those mittens, and I was just starting to think I wouldn't find them when lo - there they were. Many thanks, from a parent to a stranger. —Missing Mittens

Thanks for being there pookie. I hate this world and all of the people in it, other than you. You make the sun shine and the air smell sweet. If only the world was full of people like you. — Ridethespiral

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
