There are some great ways to bring cheer to people in the big smoke including the pay it forward movement - or random acts of kindness, where you do a good turn like buy a coffee for the person behind you in line. Another way is what these young kids are doing just outside the Eaton Centre in December of 2007 - giving free hugs.
The free hugs is another popular movement and I have received a few hugs over the years from various small groups of people willing to go that extra mile in getting along with strangers. It is funny to watch the groupe eager to give out hugs and hundreds of pedestrians passing by, unsure if the offer is real, or to shy to go for a hug. Eventually people will stop, feeling the emotional need and get a nice individual or group hug.
Don't forget to pass it on.
