I am in a large hotel today at a Poker tournament. I woke up this morning and looked out the window and saw approximately 30 people greeting car after car in the cilrcular drive. It was about 10 degrees outside... The people would approach each car and be given what appeared to be bags of food, which were placed in one of approximately 20 very large bins ...

It began to snow... The people stayed... Then a helicopter arrived and Santa joined the group. I am pretty sure it was Phil Hellmuth, because of the entrance, but I was too far away to be certain.

My Father told me years ago that every so often, someone will come along to renew your faith in the human spirit. These folks freezing their butts off to help their neighbors certainly did it for me this morning.

Lately, all you hear about in the news is how bad our economy is...and if you listen to our President speaking around the world... How bad Americans are in general... there doesn't appear to be much to be thankful for... It couldn't be farther from the truth.

The American spirit is alive and well... There has never been a more generous and giving country in the history of the world, than the United States of America, So.... Keep the faith, all will pass. Merry Christmas to each of you and may God Bless you and your family.
