no, no, no you i think you have to do something wonderful in order to receive a stranger for Christmas. i just wonder if you have to give yourself the stranger or if, in fact, strange, in general, is considered a stranger? clarification is needed, i think. aaaaanyway, cool gesture by the lady; i agree with IP; rep to blosser; and the dif, w/re to JRMii, is that the charity was given by free-will, not taken from one party by another and dispersed as the 2nd party saw fit. Merry Christmas and BAH Humbug!!
