Smile Wow what a feeling
I was listening to A Yes a Rock Station and this crazy DJ always does things for people in need around the Holidays and does great for Toys For Tots!

I am listening to this and have a customer who comes in the Store, a single Mom with 3 Boys and 1 girl!

Her oldest son 13 is in Hospital with very bad stomach pains. She did not work for 3 weeks so did not get paid! 3 feet less intestines and a benign tumor the size of an orange he got out! NO Christmas for the kids!

I figure do something for my people so got my handy Elf Lucy D who works for me and we went to work!

Well she got her first pay check in 3 weeks and got $70.00. Man does that suck!

I could not be at the store when she came in as had to take the youngest to hospital today and I did not want to be there as I would have been a F basket case!

Well we got $120.00 for her, 4 boxes of grocerys, box full of Tonka Toys 3 remote, pop, a 14 lb.Turkey and toys for the kids!

The reason I would not go back up to the store is I would have Bawled like a Baby! She cried like Hell and when Lucy D called me, I was tearing up the key board!

The kids will now have a Happy Christmas and that is what it is all about! They sould be able to eat for at least a week!

This is what being a Greek is all about!

I feel very fortunate to have been in a position to do something for someone in need and I know that is how all of you feel as you are the best!

We as Greeks always do for those less fortunate than we are because that is the way we are!

May all of you have a Happy Holiday and a very prospersous New Year, may all of you get A +'s and Alums, a sack full of ++++++

Love you guys, you are the BEST!

I am not patting myself on the back but damn does it feel good to HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom, you are such a kind-hearted, generous man and a good example of what being a greek is all about. I've always believed that what you put out into the world comes back to you so I am certain that wonderful things will be coming your way! I hope that Santa fills your stockings until they overflow!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As they say,"Love makes the world go 'round!" May you have a very merry Christmas. If I may add another old saying (I'm full of 'em) "God bless us, everyone!"

Forgot to ask. How is your child? I hope is was nothing serious.

OH, I almost forgot, I am going home to Lamar Mo. and Will have to stop by the Burg to See Mrs. L our Patrones Saint! I will tell her Hi from all of the GCers as She is the BEST! I am sure she will be agast about me talking about her to strangers whom she does not know! But when I explain, SHE will be pleased as punch!

She always tells me I am to much!

God I Love You Guys!
