A smiling Spencer Pratt was caught up in the true holiday spirit yesterday at a Christmas benefit for the Los Angeles Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

Appearing without girlfriend / ex-fiance Heidi Montag, but with his grandmother, who he calls Nana, Spencer Pratt joined the non-profit organization in serving up nice Christmas dinners to the less fortunate. He did the same on Thanksgiving Day.

Say what you will about the slick, attention-seeking, self-promoting villain from MTV's The Hills - you have to give him his due for helping out individuals in need. Plus, how mad can you get at any guy posing for a picture with his grandma?

No, not even devout enemy Lauren Conrad - who was seen dining with Whitney Port and Brent Bolthouse over the weekend - could hate Spencer on this holiday.
