I actually started crying at the dad telling the little girl about acts of kindness

[magiv]

That first man is absolutely amazing. I had tears in my eyes when he talked to the girl and the family about small acts of kindness.😢

[goseahawks]

i like that one guy who talk with the little girl about help other people later on if they need that guy is a really wonderful person

[STREZZD]

I feel bad for the ugly small tree. He deserves to get bought too.

[laurenx]

my mom would slap me if I asked a stranger that 💀

I have a fake tree and it's been in my house for 7 years

When I got married in 2002 my new wife and I bought a fake tree from Walmart for $28. We still use it today.

The woman who lost her husband, telling the family it's what something he'd want to do for them through her.... That's the best kind of love there is. One that leaves behind a mark through kindness, compassion and love unto others.

[m.w.]

I don't know why, but as simple as this WWYD show was, this made me cry.

[livesalicat]

I lost it at the lady who lost her husband. I can't imagine the depths of grief to loose your partner, change your whole way you thought you'd live out your life and having all those holidays ahead still yet to be hard, and still being able to be so enthusiastically excited to see the tree the little girl picked out. She was genuinely invested in that family's life changing by doing an act of kindness, even when life hadn't been fair in taking her person she loved too soon. Omg, it still crying, it hurts my heart so much and yet gives me a hope in some humanity.

I've used the same fake Christmas tree all my life.

[Jack]

If I had a budget of $25 for a tree, I’d get a good looking fake one instead of a crappy looking real one. I could reuse it next year too

“ *a small act of kindness can have a ripple that can change the world* “

[ndorje]

damn the dad saying things to little girl about the kindness is so wholesome. their whole family is. specially at the end, when camera came out.. and how two of their boys were looking at their dad like he’s their HERO!! what a way to set an example for your kids they’ll remember for life. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[drewgrinbergs]

Have Isabelle start crying again lmao I cant😂

[therealopaartist]

one year ago, there was this family in our neighborhood who couldn't afford gifts...so we grabbed four of five presents of our own and put them on their doorstep the night of Christmas eve.

[icebearlifepie]

I actually feel sorry for the charlie brown tree XD

6:08 I like how she has no idea who he is so she’s just the like “Hi John Quinones how you doing?”
