#eastidahonews #secretsanta #christmas
Here is a collection of all our Secret Santa surprises from week five.

[@Charlie-bh3yk]

The reporter is perfect for this-kind, caring, not over-the-top and sensitive to each person. Please don’t ever leave this position,Nate!

[@_Y.Not_]

Very much agree, not overly gushing or intrusive, just the right amount of compassion and respect.

[@Aleka1943]

Nate is so unbelievable

[@beastinbarbie]

Gotta love Nate ❤

[@shelleybeach-fp2kv]

I Could not agree more xoxx

[@garymcintyre6356]

He is the right person for this task, he is real, humble, gentle and just what is needed for this so important timel

[@Happy-qe2ri]

The person that donated $1 million to help others is truly a Godsend!!! Praise the Lord for this amazing person and the news team for making all of these people feel so loved and special ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@2ndhandSue]

I don't know who you are, Secret Santa, but I just admire so much what you do for your community. Everyone chosen for Secret Santa gifts are deserving of them! I especially loved seeing the piano lady receive a new piano! She has taught for SO many years on a very elderly piano, and given hundreds (thousands??) of kids the joy of being able to play. Brings back memories of my own childhood and the 10 years I spent taking lessons so long ago.

[@Nimue56]

Nate has the best job in the world.

[@m.g.3679]

Secret Santa you are such an angel to all these people. And these people are such kind hearted, positive and humble humans. A blessing and example of love, service and resilience to their community and all of us. 🙏❤

[@PAFloridian]

That young man in school gives me hope for this country.

[@macalauresmuse]

He was so sweet, a good person who has had something good happen for him, unexpectedly.

[@et4615]

The high schooler who repaired his brakes in the parking lot? I feel the same way!

[@nouseforaname5378]

It’s unbelievable how well Jerry is functioning after being brain dead for 15 minutes, that is a true miracle

[@kevinjones5560]

He wasn’t brain dead for 15 minutes, they said his brain was without oxygen. Big difference. Brain dead is dead. You aren’t resuscitated.

[@juliadonley5563]

It's not how much you have when you leave this earth it matters who you help others in need. Thank you Secret Santa. Your kindness to people in your community is beautiful. Thankyou for being a beacon to the rest of us.

[@naijatalkertive]

The piano teacher part was so amazing and emotional to watch.

[@m.g.3679]

The kid in the second video, he is a true gentleman. Glad he got the help he needed

[@monnanugent8168]

I just love Jerry. His smile, energy and just plain happiness made me laugh. Thank you Secret Santa for what you have done for this young man and for all the blessings you have given to all the Secret Santa recipients. You are a true Angel.

[@lovefalcon1111]

He was so sweet!!!!❤

[@sandeephazarika7627]

The best possible gift for the family by the secret Santa

[@nathanoverbey107]

God bless secret santa

[@lafondawilliams]

yes indeed

[@tonymartinis2956]

12:08, lady recovering from cancer and leg amputation, what a champion

[@nickjeffrey8050]

I love love love Nate there isn’t anyone better in the world for this job He should have his own tv show all around the world

[@cindiallain8542]

I just love this channels Secret Santa stories. Thank you so much for helping these folks. I look forward to these each year.

[@NipponKiwi]

Natalie is a very lovely person and deserving recipient! Thanks for sharing these stories.

[@katepearson2730]

I absolutely LOVED Gerry, the young man from Ghana 🇬🇭 he was so super appreciative, and couldn’t believe how he got a blessing, wow what a horrible thing to happen to him too, lucky people were close by who saved his life, and then to get this blessing so he can not have to worry anymore about his rent, food cloths AND his tuition fees paid too, he’s the sort of person who will go back home and bless others too, AND he will have plenty of cloths to take home with him too, he will also have lots of stories to tell his friends and family when he gets back too, such a lovely beautiful soul he has, I wish him every happiness and success in his life and future!! God bless to u Gerry, (sorry if I’ve spelt ur name wrong) Sending love to Nate his team AND of course the secret Santa too! ❤😊❤😊❤

[@kudzu_]

The piano teacher was my favorite. What an absolute treasure of a person!

[@beast1022]

First Secret Santa vid I view... whuever the Secret Santa IS... tyyyyy ... soo many r struggling ... times are tough ... Secret Santa unbelievable generosity ... Bravo fr Canada

[@joannalee4771]

I love watching these!! I wish that there was more of this in the world.. It's spirit building.. Thank You ☃️🎄☺️

[@quickzoom1998]

Peace, happiness and lots of love, happy people

[@zaz4667]

13:32 My Mother was a piano teacher for a long time! That giveaway gets me every time! Even after watching it twice. Once in the original video and once here in the 5th week highlight video!

[@dorothymalloy1474]

Out here in Pasadena, California we finally got snow on our mountains & we never had snow on our mountains only in Big Bear & Mammoth mountains & that's was last Sunday when I took lots of pictures of the snow on the mountains

[@beccay.7222]

I watch this each year to get into the Christmas spirit. It's the only thing that really works these days for me. I appreciate it.

[@martinfreeman8486]

Watching all again just finished work today for xmas in London don't know who secret santa is but Biden should give him or her the presidential medal of freedom just my opinion 💕❤️🙏🧑‍🎄✨️

[@robertkarkos1880]

Sorry but mr Biden is not that wonderful. This country is being bankrupted by him and his administration

[@davidpietarila699]

Let’s just do away with the whole “Secret” part an go all Miracle on 34th Street and just accept that this IS Santa!

[@Miztic2u68]

I love that y'all do this for people.. I so wish our local news would do this here..

[@joeycee2585]

Your local news would have to have a generous secret santa...

[@Mom99004]

Its a rich person who lives in the area

[@bobbrown5529]

I think Jerry was by far the most gracious and Humbled of nearly all your episodes . I hope he keeps improving and does return home and be able to help / teach his family & friends . I also thank secret Santa for what he is and has done for so many people .Merry Xmas & Happy New Year . from Australia ..

[@johnbiesty7]

Love all these folks

[@iDelta77]

[@ChaCha-lt8rx]

And look at those babies .😳

[@MsBlue-od7rg]

God Bless this family Merry Christmas. God bless secret 🎅

[@JacobHeldt]

you guys rock ! thanks

[@jayarajjohnson2476]

WONDERFUL.

[@Mom99004]

Somebody very wealthy lives there. Its amazing to see the enormous amount of money given away every year!

[@zarahmclauren1459]

wealthy in the riches spiritual of heart else the material wealth wouldn't matter at all.

[@lafondawilliams]

go ahead and leave a like and comment yall, its been 6 years, we need these to grow and share the love.

[@maryannbakke5472]

Tears again! Merry Christmas!

[@FFact483]

May we please also hear the new piano one day?

[@kellybeveridge8916]

I don't know which one was my favorite! I've already watched them all each time they're posted LOL. Nate's favorite words Merry Christmas and it's a secret lol Merry Christmas everyone find peace love and joy in the new year. And what to say to Secret Santa laughing my butt off. Just a speechless as everyone else keep up the great work excited to see the next chapter.

[@alisonj9533]

One new piano went a long way!

[@robm3074]

I love these stories and the generosity is just overwhelming by Secret Santa . But I do have a question. Do these people that receive these gifts have to pay taxes on all of these general gifts that are bestowed upon them? Thank you for any help you can give with an answer.

[@yolandapullman839]

I'm still hoping Santa visits me.

[@TreeHouseClubTV]

5:46 check the lady in pink. She is so excited for the young man she's literally bouncing around. Love east idaho!!!

[@debbiegregg6557]

That's so great love it

[@cred5983]

the only thing that would make these videos better is if the whole family could be together to receive their surprise

[@lafondawilliams]

if you watched this without crying, i dare you to like this, i couldn't

[@butterflylady5568]

Love you secret santa

[@jenniferle36]

I would like to nominate one of the east Idaho news staff members his name is Nate Eaton but I won’t tell u who I am

[@elizabethhoover3002]

What happens if the piano teacher finds a piano for lets say 5,000.00 does she lose the rest of the money? Since she has 2 piano's could she buy 2 lets say for 10,000.00 and what happens to the rest of the money? Does the store keep her money or does it go back to Secret Santa ? Just Curious.

[@samb3913]

I hope she can get two!

[@Charlotte-wx4jz]

Looks like she got a baby grand piano, she definitely spent ALL that money!

[@HungryHillSarah]

😍🥰🤩

[@andreesimoneau6167]

Hmm quarters to the l Audra at? Wouldn’t a new washer dryer have been better? First time I’m disappointed in the choice of gifts

[@loveforeignaccents]

I was disappointed with that one as well when it aired; it kind of felt like a slap in the face, but as others had commented, he may just be a renter, and so it would be the landlord's responsibility to take care of that.

[@davisholman8149]

What? The young man is a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT who lives with his sister. Maybe his sister rents a place where the dryer broke. No reason to waste money buying a washer & dryer for a kid who would be going on a mission or may be living in a college dorm somewhere next year.

[@pennysheehan1180]

This boy is driving a 25 year old truck. Fixing a vehicle that age seem ridiculous. A car for their safety would have been my choice. Please add another gift. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ohgodthisitches]

I live on the other side of the country but thank GOD I found this channel. You have UNQUESTIONABLY the BEST. JOB. IN THE WORLD!

[@mikehenderson631]

Who does the music for these they are pretty good

[@davidpietarila699]

Nobody, it’s just spontaneous. It just follows Santa around wherever he goes!

[@dionspro]

👍🎄🎄🇲🇨

[@kevinjones5560]

I didn’t recognize the thumbnail family and I’ve seen every video. Didn’t even see them in the compilation. 🤔

[@rawr02009]

8:20

[@loveforeignaccents]

Yeah, I came to try and find out who it was as well since I didn't recognize the thumbnail either and have seen all of them, too. They definitely didn't show that family photo in the segment involving her.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@rawr02009 Thanks for the timestamp!

[@kevinjones5560]

No way that was there the times I scrubbed through looking…..😅 I remember the story and surgery. Just didn’t remember that photo. Mystery solved.

[@PapaKryptoss]

I know who the secret 🎅 is. Initials are SBC

[@lovefalcon1111]

No, his initials are LOVE ❤ and that’s all we need to know…

[@alphonserobichaud1278]

Just think if President Trump gave gifts away every year to those in need what a blessing he could be, being a billionaire. This secret Santa is far more of a treasure to God, he shares like his savior told him to do.

[@annedennett7974]

I wish James had been given a new truck,

[@zuzuspetals9281]

I love that they gave him money to fix up his truck because guys get very attached to their vehicles, but I do wish they had given his family a new dryer for their clothes.

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

☹️☹️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Frogs84]

I’m just curious - does this secret Santa only give to Mormons?

[@samb3913]

Probably. Don't you know that non mormons are evil according to mormons? Source: grew up in the mormon church in Utah. I'm happily EX mormon. Any religion that thinks they are superior to others is deeply mistaken.

[@lynn4674]

Why do you say that ?

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

That would be a big fat NO!

[@Charlotte-wx4jz]

@@lynn4674Idaho has a large LDS population. Lots of the people who receive gifts are LDS so I guess it is natural to be curious.

[@bethsewer5463]

I've seen most of there episodes . Finally gifting a black person

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

Obviously you haven't watched much!

[@bethsewer5463]

@@user-ky2sn8nw2i Yes I have are you white ?

[@Davek111]

For the love of god.... someone tell them to please stop havin' freaking babies!

[@wyattgould4161]

I am not LDS but I live in this area. In general I love the LDS people and they are really great neighbors . I do think it is unfortunate that LDS doctrine can sometimes discourage practical family planning. There's really not much you can do about it though .

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

That's mean!

[@tedreynolds6363]

God Bless that 1st couple but I'll NEVER understand why people have kids they can't FREAKING afford. That's like making $40 grand a year and going to buy a 7series BMW and your payments are $750 per month and with mortgage, utilities, food, gas, insurance, child care, incidentals and miscellaneous you can't afford it, yet you still do it. Makes NO sense to me. Cover it up or pull out for GOODNESS sake!

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

That's mean!!!
