西方人過聖誕節拿禮物,就像中國人過年拿紅包,只是挑禮物還需要用心思考,紅包裡放錢會簡單一些。
一般人對於錢的觀念,應該是多多益善吧,如果能中獎或拿到意外之財,應該都會很開心。
前幾天有一則新聞報導,內容是美國有一對從商的中年兄弟在美國紐約長島的一個購物中心分發一百元鈔票,他們說他們覺得自己是有福的,想要回饋一些,每年都會這麼做。他們如此慷慨大方,除了送錢,還有暖暖的溫情,真令人激賞。
美國一對中年兄弟,聖誕夜到紐約長島的一家百貨公司當財神爺,發送一百美元的現鈔,給購物群眾,還驚動了警方。
這對兄弟在聖誕節前夕,百貨公司最擁擠的時候,去發送現金和驚喜,引起騷動,購物中心趕緊報警,警方前去了解,那對兄弟說明自己並無惡意,他們說,自己非常幸運,因為心存感激,想要回饋,所以每年聖誕節,他們都會這麼做,警方在確認他們沒有別的意圖,發送的也是真鈔之後離去,但報導沒說,他們發出多少錢。
Brothers hand out Christmas cash at New York mall Mon Dec 24, 4:15 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shoppers got a Christmas Eve surprise on Monday when a pair of brothers handed out $100 bills at a mall on Long Island, New York.
Police responded to a call from security staff at the Sunrise Mall in the town of Massapequa, concerned that the give-away might create a scene or involve counterfeit bills.
Instead, officers found a simple case of Christmas charity where calm prevailed as the businessmen, aged 45 and 41, gave out the money at the entrance to the shopping center, police said.
"These two brothers say they do this every year. They say they've been blessed and just want to give something back," Detective Sergeant Anthony Repalone said.
"They gave it to people who they thought needed it. The people were very appreciative."
Police declined to identify the brothers, respecting their wish to remain anonymous.
