I thought I'd share this with you lot just to prove that the Spirit of Christmas is alive.

We have a chap here who is spending Christmas without his family, and very few friends. He had a present given to him by the boss and remarked that it was lovely as he wasn't expecting to have something to unwrap on Christmas day.

Another girl and I thought that was sad, so set about finding anything of interest and packaging it up - to be fair, its mostly crap but its the thought right?

I popped out to a coffee shop to pick up a nice mug so it was something to unwrap - was chatting with the serving girl and she made up a little hamper free of charge so he had something nice.

So see - a company renowned for being over priced, unethical and either loved or hated has done a nice deed smile

I was just trying to say even shops are showing a bit of Christmas cheer.

This chap is still only a kid and has no-one which is rather sad. Heartbreaking story to go with it too. Thought it was really nice that a shop would do that for someone.

You lot are a bunch of heartless bds sometimes!

I thought it was a nice thought, and would hate to be like that person you mention. That small bit of thought will change his xmas I am sure of it. Well done.

I bet he kills himself when he opens the rubbish presents they gave him.

It'll be all their fault too.

To be fair, the hamper the shop made was quite nice.

The rest of it was crap.

It wasn't the crap I wanted to focus on - it was a retail establishment doing something nice because there are some people in the world with a little compassion and festive cheer this year.

Unlike you bds.

Oh, Is she good looking then?

. . . Sorry littlegreenfairy, I think it's great that you gave that bloke some stuff you didn't want. I'm glad you told us about it.

I think you're great. Really.
