Whenever I feel down or sad, Steve Hartmans wonderful smile (and sometimes boyish grin) lifts me up again. And of course all the beautiful, heartwarming stories he tells us - wouldn´t miss one single one. Happy holidays to all of you!

[@annomaly751]

good things are coming your way Ben

[@probablyaparent]

@@annomaly751 I'd settle for good things for the kids I help at my kid's school. I'm old now, I'm comfy. They're young, they need wonder, amazement and every opportunity afforded them possible. Really all kids do.

[@0111DTheProphet]

Steve needs a 24/7 channel. I can't get enough

[@YRuhere.]

Steve Hartman stories are always the best. Happy Holidays!

[@beccabaker7636]

Steve, 😭😭 you know how to pull heart strings, 😭🤗.

[@papajeff5486]

Man-o-man!!! Steve, wish I had something profound to say. I’m not so great with words though. This is the the good we need. It feeds our souls. I hope you can continue and pass this on when you decide to quit. You’re a fine fellow. We’re better for this, because of you. Texas

[@LisaWhitehorn]

You are definitely great with words! That statement said it all! 👌👆❤

[@jwharvey7167]

At the time of writing this there are 4 thumbs down. I find it baffling that there are folks that do not enjoy seeing the good in the world. Merry Christmas to Steve, his family and to the CBS news team for bringing these uplifting stories.

[@LisaWhitehorn]

They have to be really miserable inside, not feel anything watching these stories!

[@jolieart]

Mr.thomas as foster parent my hats are off to you my friend. If you read this I would love to ask you questions about how to be a better parent.🤗

[@Mooommmmeeee]

Many blessings to Mr. Lamont and his sweet family.

[@joansommerfield8419]

The stories that Steve snd his crew bring to viewers give a truer more beautiful look at what is truly happening in the world. There are still lovely, decent, self sacrificing people who are making a Huge difference in this world. CBS, a daily program of this type of content would be a huge success. Thank you. Thank you!!!

[@MariaFerreira-hi9gk]

In 1939 I was 4, at Christmas I sang ‘I’m sending a letter to Santa Claus, a letter I hope he’ll receive, And I wonder if he will please remember me, when he calls on Christmas Eve, There will be plenty of other letters, from other girls & boys, but I want my soldier daddy he’s better than all those toys, and so I’m sending a letter to Santa Claus to bring my daddy safely home to me.”

[@polyprinz]

Thank you Steve Hartman, you are my favorite correspondent. When you share stories of love and determination you get back all of that 10 folds. God bless you!!!

[@genelucas7379]

Mr Hartman, I would like to say thank you. When ever I'm feeling down or lost. I just watch some of you videos to set me straight. As you know, there are alot of folks worst off than me. Just wanted to say that. Thanks

[@carmennemura6138]

Love Steve Hartman, he is such a great storyteller. He is such a natural.

[@mikewrasman5103]

Steve Hartman is the modern day Charles Kuralt. When CBS let Kuralt do On The Road, it was only supposed to run for six weeks, but the stories were very popular with the viewers that CBS News got a great deal of mail. The series ran until 1980, when Kuralt started hosting Sunday Morning. Then Steve Hartman restarted the series.

[@disciplerdh]

Steve Hartman, you have the best job EVER! Thank you for dedicating so much of your life to these kind of stories. Our lives are better for them.

[@lynnp5404]

Thank you Steve for your heartwarming true life stories. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Your gift keeps on giving. 😁❤️🤗

[@angeldoemer8263]

To give my last dollar to someone in need....gives me the heart I have.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

I want to go to the Giles house for Christmas! What a joyous family!

[@maddyhayes617]

Steve Hartman always has amazing stories. It is always good to have tissues nearby while listening to his program. He would be welcome here in Oneonta,NY anytime, (upstate NY and about 30 minutes from Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame). Thank you for bringing these stories to all of us. God's Blessings to you and your family. 🙂🙏

[@ukaiheiraki6995]

Happy Holidays Mr Steve Hartman.

[@melissahays4634]

I can't believe people gave this a thumbs done...really people??? Thank you for sharing this heart warming story with us!

[@mikewrasman5103]

They're Scrooges.

[@meggrotte4760]

They're Scrooge's but they possibly could be angry cuz they're white。 I know this sounds strange but there's been a lot of just hatred of being white as being well encouraged in America

[@cynthiabustamante2884]

Every time I see Steve Hartman on my KZbin. I, know it's going to be good!

[@iainjohnston4217]

Steve, I love you. You make me cry with your humanity. We need more of you. Merry Christmas.

[@TTko4KKmo]

You're the best Steve.....always love to see you and your stories, always heartfelt and uplifting.

[@christinenanaguy1143]

Merry Christmas Steve! I cried tears of joy on the last segment! And i also cried about the secret Santa, it reminded me when i was visiting my handicapped step daughter and being a single parent again, I took her out for Breakfast one day and my debit card was declined, so i told the waitress to just nring my step daughters breakfast because i didn't have enough for my toast and coffee, little did I know, a couple in the booth next to ours told the waitress to bring me my toast and coffee. They left before our order arrived and i never got to thank them, I cried and the waitress also said not to worry about a tip because they covered our tip as well! I cried even harder. Trars of thankfulness and tears of joy. I try to do the same at least once a year to this day, 15 yrs later.

[@jkstudyroom]

Just found him! What a gentle man!

[@wendyh3297]

Any Steve Hartman video is food for the soul and Lord, how we need that right now.

Merry Christmas & Happy new year to Steve & his team!

Moses, my my I was ok until I saw your story awesome, then Bethany comes along and now there's onions onions and more onions!!

[@adancer3592]

We have someone who gives out Hundred dollar bills In our town. He's extremely stealthy People usually don't realize until they get home And find envelopes slipped into a stroller or pocket How he accomplishes this with nobody noticing has been the on going speculation of who they are The most popular is he's a retired magician . It's not out of the ordinary to find your lunch paid for when you go to pay your bill Or your groceries paid for when you check out in my town so there are. More than one of Him or Her out there paying it forward . Blessed to have stumbled on this place and I will never move. Especially how crazy the world has gotten these past few years .

[@carolynworthington8996]

He is such a great writer. And he has the best job in the world.

[@vespermartini2556]

I love Steve, I don't think I've ever seen one of his stories where I didn't shed a tear. He brings out the heart warming stories we need to see in times like the ones we are going through right now. A prosperous and healthy New Year to everyone.

Same here.

Steve Hartman is the adult version of Steve Rogers. I went from binge watching Rogers as a kid to binge watching Hartman as an adult.

LasVegas Bartender They are just heartless trolls! Don’t give them any time or consideration to them! Happy New Year to all the decent kind people in the world!

[@unclejoe3397]

I truly believe that there are trolls who just like to give everything a thumbs down without even watching the video. Then they move on to the next one, and over and over again.

[@vespermartini2556]

@LasVega Bartender Today, 12/30 ,16 thumbs down, but 1K thumbs UP. There are more good people out there than trolls or miserable people that can't find the goodness in a story.

[@lasvegasbartender6123]

@Charles Taylor Although I was born Jewish I can respect a man who preaches "peace on earth and good will toward man." I may not believe he is the son of GOD, but I can respect a person like that. To me, we are all the children of god.

[@mikewrasman5103]

@@lasvegasbartender6123 Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself. Your response is a classic.

[@lesliehyde]

For the kids of low income families about the best gift to give is some new clothes (underclothing, shirt, pants, shoes and pjs) and food for each day off of school. The other part for a gift for these kids is to just spend time with their family.

[@GreenKnight1982]

In my opinion as a 37 year old grown man Santa Claus is 100% and absolutely real!!!!!!! It may not be the physical embodiment that we see every Christma..., fat guy ,long beard, red suit... but the spirit of the Hat Man ladies in everybody and we should do everything we can to make every Christmas special for everyone no matter our means or who they are
