When I hopped on the bus after work today, one of my fellow passengers was a man laden with a backpack, cargo pants, a heavy coat, and—best of all—a Santa hat. I'll admit that the thought crossed my mind that he looked and smelled homeless, but there was no way for me to know for sure. But, what matters here is what I noticed about the man's demeanor. He was cheerful and social. He said hi to me directly as I walked by. Plus, he had a Santa hat on! The first Santa hat I've seen in the upcoming holiday season! The man was happy and festive. He got off the bus a few stops later.
I am grateful for a cheerful bus rider with a Santa hat. :)
