'tis the season

i unintentionally watched the premiere of a new game show tonight called, "you deserve it."  contestants go on to win money not for themselves but for someone who they think needs the cash.  tonight the contestant was a woman whose best friend lost her husband prematurely in a diving accident 4 months ago and has been raising their 2 girls on her own.  it was such a sad story and her friend was often moved to tears while playing because it meant so much for her to be able to have the chance to give a gift that she knew would change her best friend's life.

in the end, she won over $110,000 and at the end presented her winnings to her friend via a televised surprise.  it was moving and emotional and i cried the entire time!

i'm so glad i caught this show.  i love seeing people doing thoughtful things for one another.  during this season of giving, who would you give to if you had the chance?
