2021 Secret Santa Special - Part 2

[@shumwab]

Nate's so classy and kind. Most reporters likely would have left that first sweet child and father sad and bawling their eyes out missing their Mom / wife ... but Nate answered her question as to why Secret Santa picked them perfectly.

[@TapIntoAlignment]

This doesn’t just bless them it blesses us who watch ❤

[@mashaazran9896]

I know how you feel. I took care of my father when he had colon cancer. You truly are an inspiration. Your grandfather is blessed that you are in his life. Praying that God continues to bless you and gives you whatever you need.

Something so happy can make people cry in happiness and sadness at the same time, this Santa has superpowers

Nate is the best for this position. He is caring.

I agree with yp

[@jsmallwood44814]

My father passed away 2 years ago from cancer these videos bring me to tears thank you to Nate Eaton and the east Idaho news for those videos

[@BassheadGTP]

I cant stop watching these. Im from SE Iowa, Im 37 and single father of a brilliant 11yr old boy, wish we had things like this happen here. I watch these to restore hope and joy during the Holidays. I lost my Best Friend 4 days before my birthday in August 2015 and my Dad Christmas Day 2015. Life has been rough since.

[@Murdoc2080]

Hang in there man. Hope you can find some comfort in his passing. Your father and his legacy lives on through you and your boy. I have two kids we lost my mom unexpectedly in 2020. It's rough on the kids. Life can be so strange and cruel but one good thing can make up for 100 bad things. East Idaho news has really figured it out. God speed

[@TayyaMarie]

I lost my dad this past August, this Christmas was hard for me, first year without my own secret Santa in my life in 24 years. These videos have brought me so much joy in my own dark time. Bless secret Santa and Nate as well as crew. 🥰

@TayyaMarie I lost my Dad August 22nd, 2022.. he was my best friend and my whole heart. He was from McCammon, Idaho and when I watch these videos I feel closer to him and one of his greatest loves, Idaho and the kind people of that wonderful state. I'm sorry you lost your Pop so young. If your relationship was anything like ours, he'll be by your side for eternity. ❤ from Montana.. Lauren

Times are rough for many. Secret Santa is a blessing. Remember never loose hope and faith. Hp is not far away. God Bless all. You are stronger than you think you are.

[@mashaazran9896]

The point is to ask God for help. He cannot help you if you don’t ask. There are scientific studies that prove that prayers help. I’ve been fortunate enough to have my prayers answered several times.

The amounts can vary greatly. Many, many people have been in situations where a smaller amount can make a very big difference in their lives. It's relative but it's very helpful to know that people care about your well being.

Well I was cleaning, but had to stop, watch and cry for an hour or so. Thank you Secret Santa, Nate, and the News crew. It’s been a rough time the last couple years, I know I’m not the only one, the love, giving and kindness expressed has been a bright light in a dim time. Thank you for warmth that the blessings to others has brought to my heart.

I feel so happy for these people. So many with problems and a kind generous man gives his money to help others being a Secret Santa. Now Idaho has someone who cares about people and shares his or her wealth to help others. Okay, now what does that tell you about the other states who should also set an example. Thank you for all you do for individuals and children to make their lives easier. God Bless You.

Love watching these...she had that stunned "deer in the headlights" look! One of my favorites is one where the Mom, who was getting the gifts happened to see, through the glass door, the vehicle parking and just burst out crying while they were still walking up to the door! Her husband and some of the kids were trying to ask what was wrong...of course it meant that she watches the show all the time! Great episode!

I have a friend in Arizona that just found out she has lung cancer & another friend in New Mexico who has leukemia. They've both helped me out financially many times. I'm disabled & had to give up on my dreams. Now I just feed feral cats, which is now expensive. But Those two people deserve Blessings to come their way.

Hi to all , I’m from the uk and never heard of this channel ( Secret Santa )until now………… Wow what a heart wrenching and moving channel this is. I’m addicted to each and every one of these videos they are so refreshing and heartfelt, they bring me to tears every time and that’s why I keep coming back. To see your ordinary person with everyday issues whether it be financial / heath or just a very caring person who will drop everything just to help their neighbours , these are the people who are so very special. To see their faces when given these absolutely amazing gifts is the reason I keep coming back to this kind caring channel. Whoever you are Secret Santa your unbelievably kind , to see this is an absolute rarity. Bess you Kindest regards paul

[@holycroc20]

I look forward each year, since discovering this, to the secret santa clips. You are fabulous, Nate. I'm from Richmond, Virginia and absolutely love what this Idaho resident does for your community. I don't know if there are Secret Santas like this person across the country, but if there are I'd want you to be the person in front of the camera doing them......Not just you, the whole group there that's often with you. The other thing that reminds me of this Secret Santa thing, is the people who do the show Random Acts. Both of these things have me tear up equally.........
