Christmas Spirit

Spirit of Chirstmas

Had to get photo of Xmas spirit. Saw this woman hunkered down, stood behind pole on main street with 180mm f2.8 lens. In five minutes this scene happened. Ran down kid in mall to get his name and why he donated? His reply, “Just doin’ what I’ve seen my father do.”
