PIC: This Christmas tale of an extremely helpful Dublin Bus driver will warm your heart

JOE

Christmas is a time for helping one another…

Over the festive season, while we’re all stuffed to the gills and feeling grateful for all our presents from Santa, it’s important to remember that we should really all be helping those less fortunate.

The holidays are for love, jokes and reuniting with family, but a lot of the time, the best Christmas tales emerge from helping a total stranger.

One person who witnessed a great act of Christmas spirit is Veronica Walsh, who was sitting on a Dublin Bus when she saw the driver going out of his way to help a passenger.

Veronica spoke of witnessing a driver of the No. 16 bus holding a baby as the baby’s mother folded up her buggy.

“Everybody on #16 bus is beaming as the driver goes hands on & holds a baby while the boarding mammy folds her buggy”

As followers saw the tweet, they asked if the kindness ended with the driver, but Veronica assured us all that there is some kindness left in people, who made way for both mother and baby to sit down.

This is what Christmas is truly all about.
