The Value of A Smile At Christmas

It costs nothing, but creates much
It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give
It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever
None are so rich they can get alone without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits
It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature's best antidoge for trouble
Yet is cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away
And if in the last minute rush of Christmas buying some of our salespeople should be too tired to give you a smile, may we ask you to leave one of yours?
For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give!
