Discussion of "Ondrea Gets Into the Christmas Spirit" by Acuariana

Good for Ondrea!
I had a relative who used to take a hundred dollars every X-mas and randomly give it to a homeless person. He felt soooooo good about himself. He told everyone who would listen what a grand deed he had done.
Now to me, the whole thing was a might selfish. I mean, it just seemed like his ‘good deed’ was more about making himself feel good than it was about helping someone in need. But I suppose as long as the person in need winds up with the money at the end of the day, then everyone wins.
Anyway, I’m not implying that your character is that way. But I do wonder if she wouldn’t have felt better about herself if she had given the family the money anonymously. Slipped it in a Holiday card and shoved it in the mailbox with no return address or something. That would really be getting into the Christmas spirit.
Thank you for sharing your work and Happy Holidays.

Thanks, Dogdeity11. Sometimes people do good deeds, but they brag about it, and they make the deeds in vain, which isn't right. No, Ondrea is not that way. Your suggestion makes sense, though.

Merry Christmas, and you're welcome!
