I do this first or last thing to anyone I happen to talk to.

I also say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Mother's/Father's day and etc. on their respective days.

It's about good will toward all and the smile is always important.

Maybe I might just start doing that online too... could start a trend around here. I never thought about it before just now. Thank you for asking, 1StrongBlackMan. Happy MLKjr. day to you.
