can be good.
a 6th grade student who seems to be in trouble all the time, brought $20 each for the twins whose house burned down. he said he wanted to give the money directly to the boys because they might want to buy their parents a Christmas gift.  I love it when they act like they "get it."

And in a world of materialism, self interest, and doubt, the true spirit of Christmas shines through. Give that kid a .
