    Hey fellow BBSers,

    Since it's the season of giving, a small group of my friends thought it would be a really great idea if we could spread some love this holiday season by giving some surprise gifts to other Houstonians.

    We plan on posting a video on YouTube late Christmas night. This should be fun...and interesting, to say the least.

    If you have some spare change, the link is below. Thanks guys!

    Also, if you have any ideas, let us know.

    That was one of the most awesomestest videos I have ever seen, I wish I would have seen this thread earlier...

    THAT is what Christmas is all about.

    Great job !

    I spread it through Tweet and linked on Facebook.....stuff like this is sooo important.

    That was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing the video with us, and for sharing Christmas cheer to the ones who need it the most.

    A group of friends and I went around Houston distributing homemade turkey lunches on Thanksgiving. It's really eye-opening to see how many people there are on the streets with no place to go during the holidays. When you actually take the time to have a conversation with a few of them, it really changes your perspective on things.

    Very cool indeed.

    The guy at 7:40 was heartbreaking / heartwarming at the same time.

    I actually know a few of those homeless people.

    There were a few homeless females that were killed back in October via strangulation. I knew of them.
