After spending most of my life in the news business, I'm a bit jaded when it comes to the "feel-good" stories that pop up around this time of year. Many of them seem formulaic and their frequency makes me think "What -- people don't do nice things during the other 11 1/2 months of the year?"

This story from the Boston Globe, however, did strike a chord in my Grinch-like heart. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

My holiday wish is that everyone tries to do something nice. I'm starting by sharing this.

Happy holidays.
