[@Vincef1101]

I’m a grown ass man in my 60’s and I’m sitting here watching these videos and crying like a woman but I ain’t ashamed. Keep up the good work East Idaho News and secret Santa. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@dawnhasbroken6304]

Well I'm a 60yo woman sitting here crying like a man...😄 😜

[@NevillesRightHand1905]

Crying is actually a sign of great inner strength; only cowards hide their tears and true feelings. That goes for men and women alike, lol. Merry Christmas to all ❤✨️🙏

[@chicklaes]

I hope your holidays will be amazing! Sending you and your family cheer and love.

[@NevillesRightHand1905]

@@chicklaes 🤶💖✨️🙏☃️❄️🎄💫Merry Christmas and much, much peace and love ❤️

[@leftymhp]

nothing wrong with crying ..its a damn streangth

[@Mingomama08]

I’m crying throughout this entire video. Whomever is Secret Santa there in Idaho Falls is an angel…..

[@luxhome4886]

Their anonymity is INSPIRING.. I hope they walk with a beaming smile every where they go 🙏🙏

[@davenorth2903]

From the United Arab Emirates we love you. Idaho must be a very special place. Thank you!

[@lesare6509]

This area has great communities that’s for sure!❤. Nate is a very good man, I actually was introduced to this channel watching his honest journalism on a big trial, great people!🤗❤️🙏

[@Mystlyn26]

Merry Christmas UAE🌲

[@VictorCostello-l9m]

I am a 71 year old man in northeast Ohio. I love what you folks do every year. You make this guy cry every video. Happy Holidays.

[@BeachDogs.Jayhall]

Happy holidays Victor

[@Emilyhlizz123]

I spend all year looking forward to Christmas because of you, I live alone and you make Christmas for me

[@barbaracilley8200]

I’m a 75 year old woman, 76 in 2 months. I to am crying. This is such a wonderful thing to do. The lady with the tree out front of their house, that she wanted cut down. When she said her daughter had to write about the best part of Christmas for school, I couldn’t believe that her daughter wrote about the secret Santa and all the wonderful things he/she does for the people of Idaho. Something tells me her daughter was hoping secret Santa would stop at her house someday. Blessings to whoever your secret Santa is. What a wonderful thing to do. I have been a giver as far back as I can remember. I am not wealthy at all but I know the feeling of being able to bring happiness to others. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@jholly5747]

Greetings from Toronto Canada I can’t believe this been running for 10 years. I just stumble crosses recently and have really been enjoying all the generosity that the East Idaho news team and see Santa has been giving to all the deserving people in Idaho. Each little episode, you find a family that’s very deserving of the secret Santa gifts. Sometimes the families or the individuals in the little clips makes you cry and your heart breaks for them because of all the tragedy that has fallen upon them. Thank you secret Santa for giving all these gifts to these deserving families.

[@olgamountain9904]

Hi, honey. Greetings from Long Beach, California. I’m originally from Toronto but moved here over 40 years ago. I haven’t been back in many years, but I sure loved Toronto. So many wonderful memories. But I don’t miss the snow. Ok, night, night, sweetheart.

[@JacqueBernadette]

Bless you Secret Santa, which I know God is blessing you as you bless others. I look forward to watching these each year and cry along with the recipients.

[@crystalinabacteria3430]

Amen to that🙏❤

[@tonysmith1024]

You Santa helpers just won’t stop until you have me in tears! Thank you Secret Santa! God bless you all!

[@lizodonnell7131]

This is so good to see. With all the negativity going on, people need something good into today’s world. Thank you Nate and staft. ❤❤❤❤😊

[@Emeraldcity70]

that's a nice comment. Thank you.

[@ericaghelfi3240]

Secret Santa where ever you are who ever you are, you are an angel on earth, every year I watch these videos and am in tears and amazement because this is the true meaning of Christmas 🎄

[@SnerdeyCo]

I love this time of year! Thank you Secret Santa and all the elves that work so hard to help others :)

[@ericaghelfi3240]

I look forward every Christmas to these videos ❤🥹🎅🏼

[@m.hartyfool]

This is the best news channel in the world. Your gifts bring us all joy! ❤ To the anonymous donor, a grand THANK YOU for blessing these special people. So kind.❤

[@R32Copper]

I know this is such a small detail in comparison to all the amazing things you do, but the way you introduce and include the camera person just gets me every time. They aren't just a faceless employee. It really speaks to the depth of your character and shows that your kindness goes beyond the camera.

[@rosekinnison4724]

Secret Santa 10 yrs and going strong. Blessing families to individuals with inspirational gifts. I love East Idaho News and Nate Eaton and his whole crew. Got to get one of those Secret SANTA shirts but I am going to need more tissue after this season.

[@monikaracak6813]

I love his humble, genuine, & grateful response to the surprise. Him and his wife's gratitude speaks volumes and I'm praying for this sweet family!

[@cherylflam3250]

I feel like the couple with the Down Syndrome child with heart issues deserved more ! The Dad was so gracious and thankful.. but Secret Santa, can’t you do more for them ! They have a long, hard road ahead ! ❤️

[@Morelove4ever8]

Me too! I wish they had given him a car. He needs it!

[@Kohanski5]

Maybe they need a car, but the person who nominated the couple, didn't mention in their letter a need for a car. Secret Santa goes by the nomination letter.

[@Kohanski5]

It looks like the check will help with medical bills, that is more of a need than a car.

[@tinamarieb49]

Agree! Has Secret Santa ever done a revisit. Such a great AND GRATEFUL couple!

[@emfunTravel]

Love the combined videos of them all!

[@bigdogang]

I’m always crying at 5am am God bless all of you an secret Santa you are all loved

[@BlueRay963]

You too Bigdog..God Bless❤‍🔥👍🏼

[@savedbyzero3370]

It's all about the people. Everything. May we never forget that.

[@xo2quilt]

Watched these all each night when they came out! Happily watching again whilst awaiting the new one to drop!! EIN and Secret Santa bringing blessings!!!

[@Sasskitten]

I love these and I love how in the first clips when you say there is a car for her right outside a kid leans forward trying to see it.

[@svgal1382]

My Christmas season doesn't start until "Secret Santa" videos drop. Thank you all for blessing these families going through rough times. This instills the pay it forward & faith in humanity. Stay safe & Merry Christmas! 🎅🌲

[@Emeraldcity70]

Merry Christmas friend.

[@svgal1382]

@Emeraldcity70 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ralphredmondsmull1773]

I love this time of the year seeing you all doing secret santa

[@timlol4374]

10 years!!!❤❤❤

[@jameswhitman8710]

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” I read a prayer every night and sometimes they don’t make sense of the day, but today, I think it matches perfectly.

[@lulamamie8524]

Awesome 🤩 I love Secret Santa and East Idaho News ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ddpwil35]

I'm from Indiana. I watch secret Santa every year. While it is amazing to see his/her generosity, these videos mean more to me than that. Every year I see that God is good, faithful and merciful. I know every year my worries truly are small. To see the struggle of others I can be thankful for the blessings He provides in my life every day. Thank you God. Thank you Secret Santa.

[@Brian64512]

Great. Secret santa is back. I watch this every year from belfast Ireland 🇮🇪 and it fills my heart with joy. I love what secret santa does and you guys at east idaho news ❤.

[@denagetz9894]

I’m so grateful I found Nate & East Idaho News on KZbin. I look forward to watching these videos every year. Bless you all for everything you do!!

[@veegee3291]

🙏💛🎄 Bless you, Ms. Wendy, your selflessness in giving your car to your sis and just trying to get by. All the best and a big hug to Secret Santa and Nate and team for sharing the love w/ us.

[@Widespread-Panic]

[@vickiekasafirek9096]

I love watching these special surprises but they always make be cry. Bless the secret Santa,Nate,East Idaho News,and all the special recipients🙏❤️.

[@shawnadurocher1]

Nate has an absolute dream job!! I would be crying to eyes out with every gift I gave on behalf of secret Santa. He does such a great job! Thank you, Secret Santa for all the blessings you give each year

[@janicedurham5087]

Thanks everyone including the secret Santa. I've waited months to watch these surprises in 2024 from the UK.😊❤

[@azhectic9976]

Yay, now I can start crying myself to sleep watching these again. Thanks for keeping the tradition going.

[@ryanbowers8413]

So great to see goodness in this world!

[@andrathomas2497]

My favorite time of year with East Idaho news also. Kleenex by my side. Blurred vision from tears. Thankfulness for the blessings these families receive. Nate and crew, you are precious people. ❤ ✝

[@sallydee7725]

Maybe Kleenex is the secret Santa? 🎅

[@dot10k]

Greetings from Sydney Australia. What a wonderful job you have bringing such joy to people during tough times in their lives. Your anonymous donor is some special person. 👍😀

[@michellemartinico5914]

Merry Christmas Secret Santa and EIN...Happy 10 years of blessing people! ❤

[@oiaiofoster4775]

Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii Y'All!!!!!! 🤙🏻🤳🙋🏻‍♀️

[@averagedetailer9908]

I take a look around at what I have, and know that there are people who are worse off than me. They get up every day and work hard and give to others when they themselves need things. Seeing what secret Santa is doing for those that really need so love, get it. Thank you for what you do, Secret Santa and East Idaho news

[@Fie_ms]

I look forward to this all year 🤍

[@landonpoindexter114]

I love watching these 😊

[@Fr332Bm3]

This is what makes America great. People reaching out to people through outlets. The ones who don’t look to be in the light.

[@olgamountain9904]

Kindness, generosity and compassion are universal, and not just an American trait.

[@janesynnot7446]

I love watching all these videos.

[@Tiange678]

This is awesome Nate. God Bless you. Best wishes and Blessings to the wonderful lady.

[@tinalouise1764]

Biggest Loves from New Zealand to all East Idaho News team and Secret Santa. Love watching these Secret Santa videos, always end up crying for the recipients. So good.💜

[@AidenCharming]

I'm not crying, you're crying! I'm so happy these reached my views even though I am in North Carolina. Thank you guys.

[@naomivantonder1161]

By watching this show it makes me thankfull for all I have despite having my own health issues.

[@rljensen3]

I'm not even in Idaho but I found your videos a couple years ago by chance. I fell in love with the generosity and happiness you all spread. I binge watch and look forward to these every year. Please continue to do this for as long as possible. We need more joy and happiness in the world (I live in Pennsylvania if you're wondering)

[@Battshimself]

Im all the way in Reno NV and I watch these every year. Thank you for getting them started early for us! I needed this right now.

[@Robert-ml5uc]

I'm nearly out of tears after watching this video. I had never before heard of East Idaho News, but since I've recently bought a home in Coeur d'Alene, and will be living there full-time in the coming months, I will be on the lookout for East Idaho News. The people of Idaho are kind, thoughtful and generous. So glad to "soon" be part of the Idaho community.

[@mrsboylescallahan8796]

Oh my goodness oh my heart is just so full and full of tears guardian angels are there for people .Well deserving. I wish I had one of those always taking my grandkids to doctors and dentist appointments and I'm always worried if my transmission is going to go I pray each time I drive it but I'll do anything for anybody and my grandkids ❤️

[@mrsboylescallahan8796]

One more thing where do you donate to secret Santa's I'd like to donate a little bit please let me know thank you so much

[@raystheroadtravel]

You guys are doing great work! My cousin Larry Stewart, was the original Secret Santa from Kansas City and it’s beautiful to see this tradition continue!

[@tinamarieb49]

Revisit the Sam's guy please. They are such a hardworking, wonderful, grateful couple. And with a brand new lifetime commitment to that child. I'm sure anything else Santa could do would be equally well received! And thank you Santa. You make us all better, more generous people by your example!

[@linadowning218]

I started watch SECRETS SANTA a few years ago.Bless your staff & all that support this program.

[@mzlori78]

Wow, all of these are so special and emotional, but the family at 18:28 hit especially different as I'm watching this 3 weeks after it posted, considering recent events regarding healthcare rage. God bless this family and all others trying to make it through during these difficult times. ❣Okay, now I'm going to continue crying like a baby while watching the rest of the video. These Secret Santas are such an incredible blessing to people and so generous. This changes LIVES! Most people just need some hope. Peace, love & light, and Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

[@PMKiddy]
