It's time for the holiday spirit and being full of cheer and good will toward our fellow humans.
Mary Katherine Backstrom, the blogger behind MomBabble, showed a very overt love of the holiday spirit to a complete and total stranger in a gas station parking lot in an encounter that left her in tears of laughter.
Mary Katherine Backstrom, a Florida mom, loves the holiday season.
After getting in the spirit by buying another person's ginger ale at her local Wawa/gas station, Backstrom walked out to see a man cleaning her car's windshield.
How kind!
Backstrom said in a now viral video:
"I'm convinced this is the Christmas magic and I'm like, 'Oh gosh I just love this time of year you know'."
"So, I walk up to the man and say 'This is my favorite part of humanity, I love Christmas so much, thank you for doing this' and I give him a hug."
After pausing for a full belly laugh before the big reveal, she said:
"It wasn't my car! He was parked directly in front of me!"

Backstrom continues that this may have been the most embarrassing thing she's ever done.
"I just walked away. Because what do you do? I just got in my car and drove to a different parking spot so I could tell y'all about it."

She continued:
"WHY DID THAT MAN LET ME HUG HIM??"
"I don't know what's happening in your day, but if you're not hugging strangers at the gas station, you're doing pretty well."
