"Today, a passenger gave our crew Christmas cards [with this note inside](http://imgur.com/Br6jH1u)," the[unidentified pilot said on Reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1tptln/im_an_airline_pilot_today_a_passenger_gave_our/). The note was apparently from a nurse who cares for cancer patients at NYU Langone Medical Center. Airplane crew members on Reddit seemed to support the idea that such a small gesture makes a big difference. "As a former FA [flight attendant], I can confirm that it is always appreciated when passengers were nice, or acknowledged us in this way," [user MonorailBlack wrote](http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1tptln/im_an_airline_pilot_today_a_passenger_gave_our/ceaf7wq) on Thursday. "Flying over the holidays isn't fun - missing Christmas with your family for more than 10 years gets really old. The little things made it more tolerable." ![](http://i.imgur.com/Br6jH1u.jpg) Source: [Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/26/christmas-card-airplane-crew_n_4504101.html) Topics : - [nurse](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/topic/nurse) - [note](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/topic/note) - [working holidays](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/topic/working-holidays) - [pilot](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/topic/pilot) - [Christmas](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/topic/christmas) ### Recent Posts [![](https://blog.diversitynursing.com/hubfs/GettyImages-1428257600.jpg) ##### Advancing Mental Health Equity for Every Community Thu, Jul 02, 2026 @ 09:34 AM Every July, the United States observes National Minority Mental Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the unique mental health challenges experienced by racial and ethnic minority...
