Has anyone traveling this holiday noticed syrupy sweet TSOs at the CPs?? Like -- much more customer service oriented than usual?

I went through SJC on a red-eye on 12/17. The CP was not crowded, so that may have a factor. The document checker (female) looked at my boarding pass and then looked up at me (female) and said something along the lines of "never hide your smile, it's beautiful" and "Happy Holidays". I then went to the bag scanner and asked for special screening of photographic paper that I was carrying. The TSO refused the special screening -- I wasn't in a fighting mood and I wasn't convinced it would ruin it -- but I wanted to be on the safe side. I decided to let him x-ray it. He wasn't mean or condescending about it -- he was nice and gave me no trouble. WTMD was on (no scanners open) -- went through no problems. My fiance's suitcase was taken for secondary poking (Christmas ornaments inside a metal box set it off). The man who did the search was very friendly and even offered to help my fiance pack up his bag again (although he had only taken out the one thing in question). Everyone seemed like they were in a really good mood.

My fiance and I walked away from the checkpoint and quickly came to the consensus that they had been so syrupy sweet that it was suspicious. Maybe I'm just used to the terrible customer service up at SFO -- or maybe it's another Thanksgiving best-behavior tactic.

Anyone else had a similar/dissimilar experience?
