Spreading Christmas Cheer

Sometimes people can surprise you in the most unexpected ways. I guess that's what makes it so surprising...

Every Monday throughout the season I will be starting a 3 day
Snowboarding course. The group I start with is the group that
I finish with on Wednesday afternoon. The idea is to take beginners through the basic steps of snowboarding and get them out on their own by the end of the 3 days. The group I started with yesterday was pretty good. A friendly bunch of Englishmen who did reasonably well for their first time.

This afternoon when we met up again, a little girl in the group came up to me and said "Thank you for yesterday James, Merry Christmas." - she then handed me a little card and a chocolate coin. It was the sweetest thing I have seen in years, and for someone so far away from friends and family on Christmas day, it really cheered me up.
