The
other day a woman was in the checkout lane at Kroger buying her
holiday foods. She found out after everything was rung up that she
was short $35 on her Link card and began to decide what items to
forget when a woman in line behind her told the cashier to put the
$35 on her bill.

The generous woman told the other
woman that she had been where she was now and to have a "Merry
Christmas." We hope both ladies have one and thank Kathy Horn at
Kroger for sharing this story with all of us.

Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the Close Up grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will
get $25 just for dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be
happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
