Christmas spirit: Guy gives away Wii ticket

Now this is the stuff that makes the season so much more fulfilling. Frazer sends us a tip about a post on the Dean Guitars forums that really brings out the holiday cheer.

The story goes that forum poster JammerML was visiting different stores to get a shot at buying a Nintendo Wii for himself. After a couple of stops, he finally finds a store that had 15 tickets for the shot at a Wii with only 14 people lined up. He continues,

A lady had gotten in line behind me, and convinced herself that not everone in line was actually going to buy one, and that some of them were likely just standing in line together. She called her husband, and told him to go ahead and bring their son up there, as she thought they were going to get one, and it would be a big surprise for him.

The kicker was that the lady’s son was wheelchair-bound. “She was devastated (sic- devastated) when they handed me the last ticket, the look that only a parent knows all to well when they let down their child.”

You can guess what he did next. He gave the boy the ticket, said Merry Christmas, and walked away. He writes, “It sucks to know that I cannot win, but at the same time… It felt like a win to me.” All we have to say is that you’re wrong. It was definitely a win for you.
