**Staff at Canadian airline WestJet set out to achieve 12,000 ‘mini-miracles’ or
acts of kindness on 9 December 2015. In the end they achieved 31,793!**

The company’s [day of giving and volunteering](http://wja.co/12000miracles) involved
WestJet staff or ‘WestJetters’ donning blue Santa hats and joining a blue Santa,
delivering help, good cheer and gifts to people and organisations across the airline’s
network.

The company has produced a video of highlights of the day – when they thought they’d
only reached the 12,000 mark.
