  1. Buy a stranger another 30 minutes of time when you see that their parking meter has expired.
  2. Let another person have that great spot only steps away from the mall entrance.
  3. Instead of treating yourself to a post gift shopping meal, buy a $10 toy and contribute to the community toy drive.
  4. Buy that homeless person you pass on the street a cup of hot chocolate or soup, and a snack to go with it.
  5. When cleaning the snow from your own driveway give yourself an extra 15 minutes and clean off your neighbours drive as well.
  6. Keep all the coins that you get back as change while shopping in one place, and without counting it first, drop it in the Salvation Army collection bowl.
  7. Smile at everyone you make eye contact with.
  8. Hold the elevator door and let everyone get off/on before you.
  9. Let the other person have the last copy of the hot new release on video.
  10. When in that bumper to bumper traffic at the mall exit, make "merge" your motto.
