The holidays have a way of setting the mood—slowing things down, softening everyone's edges, and reminding us to look for the good around us. And if you're hoping to keep riding that feeling at least a little longer, we've got just the thing.
'Well That's Wholesome' is a Facebook group that unites over 56K members dedicated to lifting each other up. From lucky coincidences to random acts of kindness, this online community has all the proof you need that being a decent person is never out of season.

A stranger once paid for me tonusu a toilet (you needed precisely 1euro and Inhad no cash). I’ll be forever grateful ❤️
People severely underestimate teens and their behaviors. Sure, some are intentional troublemakers just to be troublemakers, but so are a lot of adults. Mostly, they're extremely kind-hearted, generous, and far more self- and socially aware than we think.
I have 5 teenagers, 2 of them would absolutely do something like this... The other 3, well they never leave the house so this opportunity would never arise 🤦🏻♀️
This is exactly how my thirteen year old is. ADORES little kids and such a kind hearted kid. Man, all of my kids would likely do this honestly. They make me more and more proud to be their momma every single day 😍 usually I don’t share their faces, but check the comment below. I’ll share some pics of all three of them (very rare occurrence) on Christmas Day and at one of my oldests’ last football games! (I’m in those 😬🤦🏼♀️ I’ve talked to most of you regulars on here enough to feel comfortable sharing 3/4 of the handsome men in my life 😍🤪
Same - except maybe by tying it around my own neck, before loosening it into a big loop to hand back

We should be asking ourselves why this is necessary. No veteran should be homeless.
My cats do the same, one or them only leaves my side when it's time to eat or use the litter tray. The other jumps up on my bed and checks on me every hour.
Don't worry, that won't happen. Everything will be ok. I'll give you a warm hug. 💛
Load More Replies...A Kerfuffle is 3 or more groups of bunnies having a raucous party
Load More Replies...Thats forever what I'm calling it when my cats and terrior decide to get along and alll cuddle in my bed with me on a chilly night!
Look up the band "Three Dog Night" in Wikipedia, the supposed meaning of their name. You could call yours something like "Four Cats and a Terrier Night". The door is over there? Oh.
Load More Replies...Anyone can give something a certain name, and then it "is called" that word. Which is precisely what happened here: someone wrote the word on Wikipedia as a joke less than years ago, and people thought it was real. So it's really no different than me saying "I would find it cute if baby rabbits were called fluffleywuffelies".
Both colony and fluffle are correct. Technically speaking.
Load More Replies...It’s just gymnastics , well that’s what it is here in uk ,it’s to help them with coordination,most kids love it ,
Load More Replies...There probably is a reason but the writer just can't find the words at this moment ...
I remember the stranger that got me unstuck from an asphalt crack when I was a kid riding my bike. My grandpa was out with me and my sis, she went far and he followed to stop her but I got stuck and couldn't call him over. A stranger just lifted little me with the bike over the crack and let me go my merry way. I didn't even say thanks (I was 5? No manners in me)
They are all fluffy, they are all loafs, all of their ears are up. Of course they are all the same.
That's a fluffel if I ever saw one! (Look at me using my new vocab word in a sentence!)
I dunno. It's cute, but if hubby gets so drunk (without his wife) that he forgets he's married, there could be problems.
Load More Replies...I worked in a facility once. One side was a physical rehab facility and the other was assisted living. There was a couple there, but they were in different sides. Their kids visited every day and would take their dad from the assisted living side to visit his wife on the other side. He had fairly advanced dementia and he once said, "I really like that girl and I'm going to marry her someday."
And? Did a food for leaf-payment transaction happen? Or are you completely heartless?
Translation, possibly? This pic was on different post with another caption that was similar but not the same wording.
Load More Replies...Ooh, reminds me of a joke! Matthew McConaughey, Leo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck decide to make a movie together. Affleck says "I'll direct!". DiCaprio says "I'll star!" and McConaughey says "I'll write I'll write I'll write!"
Brave man, going home with strange couples from the bar…. Especially being famous and all. Edited to add: Just for the record, I’m not saying these were bad people… but there are a lot out there that definitely aren’t the greatest. And the celebrity part I say because many stars have dealt with some mega stalkers. I think they may occasionally be more prone to being targeted than a lot of us regular folk. Thanks for the downvotes though lol I think that’s the most I’ve ever gotten on one comment since I’ve been on this oh so lovely site 😅
It makes me happy and I'm not a tree. (Though if I were I think I'd be a dwarf baobab)
I see what you did there! You have been downvoted by dìcks Luke, have an uppie
Comment has 5 upvotes now but still Hidden originally. Weird

I have unfortunately needed several trips to hospital this year, and every one of the ambos had a heart of gold! Not to mention the amazing nurses, who do all the hard work once you get there.
If there's one advance (most of) the human race have made during my life, it's acceptance of people who march to the beat of a different drum. Your body, your rules. And proudly so.
Wonderful. Not always the case of course. I immediately lost a couple of friends after coming out. But if that happens, you will overcome that too, that pain will heal. Being out of the closet has made me so much more happy than I ever expected it too.
Well s***w those friends then. They didn’t deserve your friendship anyway
Load More Replies...I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know what I'll do when my own dad passes. :( *hugs*
Load More Replies...I love my dad, and I know he loves me. But he's very closed off emotionally. He doesn't touch or say he loves me or anything. I've accepted that's just how he is, but oh, even at 43, I wish I could have this kind of relationship with him.
Did your father not love you Smeghead? I’m sorry. Everyone deserves at least one decent parent to love them in their lifetime. Mom, or dad, it doesn’t matter
Load More Replies...My nephew and I were playing Path of Exile together over the holiday, and my mom's 2 cats kept insisting on sitting on our keyboards 😂
My life, but a baby trying to sit on, hit, smack (you name it)… my keyboard lol
It's true. My grandparents lived about halfway between our house and the school. My siblings and I would "invade" her house on our way home, eat all her snacks, sprawl all over her furniture, and watch her tv. She loved every minute of it. When I was having a rough time during my drinking, my relationship with my parents was severely strained, but my grandma's door was always open. She lived just long enough to see me get sober (I had about 2 years when she passed). Today (literally, today, the 27th), I have 13 years and I remember how happy she was to come to those 2 anniversary meetings and see me get my chips.
I used to have a personal ringtone for my hubby, but had to change it when the dogs figured out that when it rang, he'd be home in a few minutes so they'd go crazy at the door 🤦🏻♀️
Man. Really wish I could’ve gotten my dad’s patrol car, or jeep, or Camaro; or idk… even his pics, his guns, a shirt of his…. Literally anything. F**k you Niccola
That car would have never sold for anywhere near $60k... not even brand new, not even close.
Awww I don’t remember this. I was also in Katrina. We almost stayed home. We lived in a trailer a 5 minute or less drive from the gulf. My mom decided last minute we had to leave. :( we brought our cat and our dog, but cat ran off during a bathroom stop. I still wonder if she ever made it through. 🥺
I miss my cool grandpa. (I don't miss my evil uncool grandpa. Guess which one passed away first by a very wide margin, sigh).
My MIL always says that everyone of a certain age dies, but not her dragon of a mother, because even god doesn't want her
Load More Replies...Please enjoy some of my favorite pics of him (and some of what he looked like when we rescued him) that show the giant personality that cat of ours has 🥰 check next comment
Load More Replies...When you get old, money means affording rent, groceries, meds, electricity, etc. Or having to make the "heat OR eat" choice. Memories don't mean much if you're old and living in a car or tent.
Load More Replies...He looks so excited. One could almost think he's having a hoot.
Someone at BP introduced me to Owls in Towels, the website that photographs adorable owls while they are being cared for. I am now paying that favour forward.
My grandson Lucas loves Lucas the Spider.
Load More Replies...I have to rehome all the spiders in my flat, otherwise my cats tag team to destroy them.
I helped a spider out of the tub just 30 mins ago :3 cute little guys
Any spiders in my bathroom get assisted down the drain.
It took me probably 8 in total. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. The important thing is… YOU DID IT! Yaaaaayyyyyyyy
Also, your roommate should be a baker (as long as it tasted as good as it looks anyway 😉)
Load More Replies...The next time someone tells me "those who can't do, teach," I'm gonna refer them to this image.
Yes, the full quote is 'those that can do, those that can't teach those that can'
Load More Replies...Taylor Mali, ‘what does a teacher make’. Worth listening to.
An hour lunch break is a long lunch break in the US. Most places give a 30 mins break. Because that’s the minimum amount they can allow by law if you work over 4 hours in a day
In some places that's not even required. Neither are brakes.
Load More Replies...A whole hour?? Only. An. Entire. Hour? I'm lucky to get 30 minutes most places when I'm not working for myself and that's the UK.
I had a nightmare about not being able to find Melvin, my dog. Melvin passed away in October. I woke up bawling.
I'm so sorry. My girl died in 2007, and I still haven't recovered. Virtual hugs!!
Load More Replies...After my dog passed away I dreamed about him constantly. And my dreams are extremely vivid. I swear, hand on heart, I could FEEL his fur as I petted him again. He still shows up occasionally and I can still feel him.
I saw a quote once that said our pets live such short lives so we can share our love with many more. It's something that has seen me through the grief of losing them.
5 minutes after you leave your house. The dog: What if he never comes back? The cat: Who?
These animals save lives. Help the disabled. Help people with trauma. Sniff out bombs, d***s, even cancer
Load More Replies...I always apologise when this happens, I feel so guilty because cleaners work so hard.
I do this while trying to get out of their way as fast as possible. It's sad how people treat the cleaner like they're invisible.
Might be worth giving new friend's parents a brief 'heads-up' about your boy's challenge, though
Yup. Valentine's is one day. It matters far more how they treat you the other 364 days of the year
But it's a good time to raise the average, as well
Load More Replies...Once my dad forgot about Valentine's Day and Mum was sad. I secretly tipped him off and he came home with flowers. Day saved.
Yep, that is us, my husband and me. Whenever we see something small that the other one would like, we buy it. I think that is more thoughtful and romantic as 'It is this one day of the year where I have to bring flowers and chocolate, No matter if he or she likes it, you have to do it because everyone is doing it.'
If "you have to do it because it's X day" then it's better style to do it on a random day. Or days ...
Load More Replies...My bestie mis-typed "luv u" to "luu u" one time while texting. So now we end every text and phone convo with "luuuuuu u!"
"If the sound is 'ee', it's I before E, except after C". Seize the weird exceptions ! Either (or neither) of them ...
