A woman in Spokane, Washington, USA, handed out envelopes containing $50 to passengers aboard buses during the Christmas holiday season, saying "Merry Christmas" to each passenger before stepping off the bus. Descriptions of the woman varied among passengers, as the woman did her work quickly. "She kind of kept her head down," said bus driver Max Clemons. "I don't remember ever seeing this lady before." The woman was accompanied by one or two young boys. Each envelope containing money was sealed with a sticker that said: "To a friend from a friend." According to another bus driver, Terry Dobson, who had two visits from the mystery woman on his bus: "There was a lot of excitement. People were making calls on their cell phones. The people on those buses really needed the money."
