The holiday season is the best and worst time of year for people. For people with a lot to be grateful for it's a time of gift giving and receiving, spending time with family, taking time away from work and even going on a holiday.

But for people who have little it can be a reminder of loss, loneliness, and a time of great stress. Luckily there are still some really great people in this world who will go out of their way to make little gestures that might make somebodies holidays a little more bearable.

Below we are celebrating these people, and giving them a second of spotlight they didn't want but have definitely earned with their sometimes small, but always appreciated, acts of kindness.

The tiniest of gestures just to make sure everyone is festive at Christmas

A sweet surprise for a new Widow

This is SO helpful at their busiest time of year!

Even animals have feelings, and need love too

The way to make friends (or save family dinner) is through their stomach

The trip of a lifetime!

And a small gesture that will change a boys life

THIS.

The BEST secret Santa. Bless this man!

I was at Walmart tonight & I saw this man w/ a cart full of stuffed animals. When I asked him why, my heart became full. He told me that every year he dresses up as Santa & walks the halls of the children’s ER & delivers one to each child. This man deserves to be recognized. pic.twitter.com/XrrtlpzWXH

Sometimes Dad's need a little bit of a treat, right?

This super cool note! Merry Christmas!

There needs to be more business/places like this. If you bring the lonely together, no one is lonely.

When your grandparents deserve the world, start with a fridge.

Don't forget this groupd of students who made sure their teacher wasn't going to be lonely

so we all got together to surprise our professor who usually spends christmas alone. it really is the little things. ❤️🎄 pic.twitter.com/Iqouv8loc5
