Nate always manages to find the most appropriate and heartwarming words to comfort the recipients of Secret Santa gifts as reflected in this video: “You don’t have to be needy. “Just know that you are loved”. Those are concise and beautifully chosen wordsI. I’m certain Nate has plenty of work to catch up on while away from his news desk in order to deliver Secret Santa’s gifts. Although it must be exhausting at times, it is obvious Nate enjoys it as reflected in his grace and patience including repeat visits to homes when the recipients are away. Nate is truly a role model gentleman worthy of my praise and admiration. Great job, Nate!

As a single mom of 3 boys, I worked in a predominately male occupation back in the day. I was so appreciative of the men that would take my shifts so I could spend the holidays at home with my son's. I have never forgotten their selflessness. Please do whatever you can to help out a single mom. They really struggle sometimes and they may not make it known to anyone else.

[@janicecanfield9211]

This young gal, at 74, is a pure delight. Secret Santa, home run here. Connie is the epitome of DON'T GIVE UP. Merry Christmas Connie. Love Nate, EIN, Secret Santa 🎅 ,Crew and Emmy, too !!! .

[@dking1362]

Part of what makes these videos such a joy is that they show so very many good folks who are still working, doing everything they can to take care of their families, and they have been strong, often for a long time. it is so refreshing in a world filled with those who don't want to work, who complain constantly, who feel entitled....it is good to know there are so many solid, hard-working Americans still out there. Just a delight to see someone truly selfless, truly deserving, get a break.
