Christmas Cheer

I had a couple of mentally disabled guests come in to the lounge for dinner.  They were wearing Santa hats and Christmas sweaters.  As servers or guests walked by their table they would stop them to show them a picture of themselves in the Santa hat and sweater.  They were fun and excited and determined to spread Christmas cheer to all that walked by.  I went to the table and laughed and joked with them.  I picked up their tab and gave them the $25 RAK to pay forward, they started giggling and saying “we knew it! we knew you’d do that!” they were so happy.  About 20 minutes after they left I received a phone call from a gentleman explaining that his handicapped brother and sister in law were in and wanted to be sure that we did actually pay for and comp their meals.  I explained our pay it forward program to him and he thanked me, saying that he is aware they can be a little crazy and people don’t typically show them such kindness.
