"Ghost of Christmas Present, Named Del"

2022 starts in less than 29 hours...and I wanted to get one last thought in for the year. As I pulled up to a stop sign, I noticed one of the homeless men at the side of the road. I grabbed my wallet, thinking "at least I can make someone's Christmas a bit happier." On the outside was written "Merry Xmas + Happy New Year" I tried again to hand him the bill. "No, ma'am. It's my turn to wish you joy ... and a Merry Christmas." With that he walked back to the spot where he originally stood.
