You're correct! Since 2006, a group of volunteer “elves” has kicked off the holiday season by handing out $100 bills to dozens of complete strangers (locals who could use an extra boost in) Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s a funny sight. Clad in red berets and accompanied by the flashing lights of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, the anonymous “elves” spend one day each year bestowing cash—all stamped with “Secret Santa” in red—on their unsuspecting neighbors. This year, a man named Kerry Shine was walking on Rozzelles Ferry Road when four elves appeared. Receiving his $100 bill, Shine couldn’t hide his emotion. He wiped his tears on the sleeve of his shirt and told them that no one had ever done something like this for him before. His reaction, the elves told The Charlotte Observer, was not unusual.

What do you look forward to most at Christmas? I enjoy going to church & listening to the message about Jesus. The hymns-O Holy Night, Away in a Manger & Hark the Herald Angels Sing are some of my favorites. I love seeing the wide eyed wonder in the kids eyes, the smell of gingerbread and caroling with friends.

WOW! Sounds like a great game...congrats to Mason County!

It should be a great game but I give home court advantage to Mason in a close one.

We always hung our Christmas stockings on Dec. 6th when I was a kid in hopes that St Nicholas would come for a visit. Advent Quiz: December 6th is the feast day of St. Nicholas. What Christmas traditions did he inspire? – The United Methodist Church
