My Favorite Holiday Story: Mystery Pair at Diner's Random Act of Kindness

As first reported by NBC Philadelphia's Danielle Johnson, this past Monday the 14th, a mysterious couple paid for their next table over's meal. This simple act of generosity and kindness (a random act of kindness if you will. I went through a big period of time in high school when I was ALL ABOUT random acts of kindness) inspired other diners to do the same.

Over several hours, customer after customer paid the favor forward.I love waitress Lynn Willard's reaction:

“It was magical. I had tears in my eyes because it never happened before. I’ve been here for 10 years, and I’ve never seen anything like that.”
