<h2>Looking for a reason to smile this Holiday?</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s 11 moments guaranteed to bring joy, even if you&#8217;re the Grinch himself&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>A loved one&#8217;s face when you give a thoughtful gift.</li>
<li>Hearing a name you forgot existed until it made you smile.</li>
<li>Witnessing (<em>or experiencing</em>) the effects a little extra Egg Nog will have on a seasonal drinker.</li>
<li>Listening to the same damn New Years Resolutions you heard last year and contemplating whether the person is truly aware of it or not.</li>
<li>Observing the &#8216;Holiday Spirit&#8217; shown by parking-space seekers at the Mall.</li>
<li>Seeing someone frighteningly joyful in a Santa outfit, or likewise ridiculous Christmas get-up.</li>
<li>The smell of fresh-baked holiday sweets.</li>
<li>Re-experiencing the unbridled joy of the holidays vicariously through a child.</li>
<li>Getting holiday cards in the mail with pictures of kids from families you don&#8217;t even know.</li>
<li>The expression on a relative&#8217;s face when you thank them for gifts they didn&#8217;t know they got you.</li>
<li>Your expression when getting thanked for gifts you didn&#8217;t even know you got someone (<em>if you are married &amp; male at least</em>)..</li>
</ol>
<h2>Spread the Joy</h2>
<p>THe (+) is up to you. In the comments, tell us&#8230;.</p>
