[@jholly5747]

I am totally blind and lost all my sight the second week of December 2022. I wish I could see everyone’s reactions to the secret Santa gifts. I just listened to how happy and appreciative the recipient of the gift scene. I have enjoyed secret Santa gifts Just from this year and have binge watched a lot of the videos from 2019 till now. Sometimes the videos make me cry. Sometimes the videos make me so happy that there are people out there that think of their fellow men or women and give them secret Santa gifts to help enrich their lives. I wish everyone receiving the gifts and everyone watching the videos. I very merry Christmas for 2024!

[@swimmingturtle00]

Wishing you a happy holiday season !

[@Abcity92]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to hear this reply. I can describe it for you. She was in a walker, and on the last gift with the 5k check, she covered her mouth in surprise! She was very elated. I hope someone can read this for you miss Holly.

[@jholly5747]

@ I am able to read comments because of the technology on my iPhone. It is called a screen reader or on the iPhone. It is called voiceover, which reads all the text on my phone back to me. I just can’t see the video so I always wonder what the peoples reactions are visually. But thank you so much for relaying the information that I could not see on this video. I always wondered what the reaction was that the woman that said holy buckets was but maybe somebody else out there will tell me what she’s reactions are. But thank you so much for laying the information to me. Merry Christmas.
