Part 1: The 2020 Secret Santa Special 

The thing I love about these guys, compared to others doing it, is that they don’t try to milk it. If the person is overwhelmed and quiet, they just pass them the gifts, and then leave them alone with love. So wholesome and beautiful. You’re doing such lovely work. Thank you Secret Santa, from Liverpool UK. ❤

I will tell you this. When my exwife and I were raising our children. I lost my job 2 wks before Christmas. A local place found out that we would not be having a Christmas. They and the local High School bought presents and gave food and they even bought presents for my wife and I. I said one day I would repay it. 10 yrs later I sponsored a young pair of girls living on their own. I saved my change for one year. $900 and those girls had a wonderful Christmas. I paid it forward and so can you.

In today’s current state, when I heard the man say “our prayers have been answered,” I burst into tears. We need more prayers answered for SO MANY. 🙏

My 17 year old daughter and I was the target of our little towns secret Santa . My husband (her father) passed away in May. A few months ago we received a card “from a friend” with cash. Then last night we heard the doorbell by the time we got to the door the person was gone. Two big bags of presents for us. Though this year has had a lot of heartache we have truly been blessed. So thankful for the Secret Santa’s they do make a difference in this crazy world.

That blind man is just the sweetest

Who is also addicted to these videos?

The fact that the lady who is dying is in the best spirits and absolutely beautiful is amazing..you never kno what people going through

This is so very special. What a wonderful person Secret Santa is. You are a very SPECIAL Human being to help people the way you do. Please God keep you safe and happy. Greetings from London 🇬🇧

When he asks what she like about her job and she says it’s magical...don’t we all want our children to have teachers like this

Merry Christmas Secret Santa and to all a happy thanksgiving 🦃. I donated my Christmas bonus of $500 to a homeless man who was living in his car with his 2 dogs. It helped him get a couple of new tires & gas to get him to a new job in a different state. Thanks for the inspiration.

About every other month I have been giving $20 to the cashier at the local grocer, to offer to a person who needs it. I need to do this more often!

Seeing how you take care of people with disabilities and health issues makes me so happy. I take care of my father that got in a bad wreck in Dec. 2018 in west valley he was thrown from the car had a broken neck. They told him he would be on a feeding tube for the rest of his life but he tried eating then was able to eat some soft foods. Now is off feeding tube and has a metal plate in his throat. Still has trouble eating. When he was in the Int. Mt. Hospital my mother was bed ridden and they was in the same hospital at the same time. Then my mother went to care place in and out. I took care of both of them. Then my mother passed in April 2020. Then I just moved my dad in with me and my son in syracuse because he now has blood cancer. I know that watching how you have cared for many. You will be blessed. I know how hard it is to care for those that need help. I love to hear how my dad tells me he loves how I have taken good care of him. I also know how blessed I am to of taken care of both of them. I love how you have cared for those people. Your great. Sub for Santa you are wonderful and blessed. Thanks for taking care of many. Love watching.

East idaho news does 100 times more than ALL big network news. Just imagine if others did the same. It would change to world. East Idaho is the best news network out there!!! Keep it up Also Nate Eaton does great.

SECRET SANTA DOES A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF HELPING PEOPLE. THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING.

Heartwarming that there are people that care, about people. It is obvious these 'recipients' are decent people so the Secret Santa's are also special people. Spread the word, spread the money, make this a better world. May I point out, as if they don't know, the recipients friends also benefit from these gifts! Making dozens of people happy is not easy.

Our prayers have been answered, he said. Praise the Lord. Awesome…… very touching.

this is not a compilation of videos, this is therapy for the soul

Tough guy crying here, not ashamed. Props to you secret santa

Whomever you are Mr. Secret Santa, from the bottom of Americas heart, we thank you! You bring a heartwarming to us we need so very much!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I hope Secret Santa is forever blessed for helping all these people. What an angel.

As a Muslim, I am so happy to see how our fellow friends get this amazing help and blessing for Christmas... Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it, thanks to secret Santa for your generous gift for people who need it... 🙏🏻

I'm in a wheelchair, but my needs are met. However, upstairs from me is a young mom who has a year old baby - not sure of her financial situation, but I have wrapped and left a few gifts for her baby anonymously on the steps leading upstairs. She has no clue its me because there are several families in this complex. I just sit here and smile, knowing she is wondering.... It's a great feeling :-) Thank you Secret Santa for the great idea! Much love!

The Lord works through the hearts of men! God-bless The Secret Santa!

I Love watching these...gives me hope in humanity❤ I Love Nate,he's such a Genuine person.God Bless You Secret Santa.❤🎅

The teacher with the car!! That had me in tears! I love how all of her co-workers are so excited for her!

Who ever the Secret Santa is, is more like a Secret Angel Santa!

Lately all you hear about is how terrible the United States and it’s citizens are. It’s nice to see that Idaho is showing the world what the States are capable of. Nate, you can tell you are sincere and really feel for the recipients. The Idaho News is lucky to have you. Not everyone can do your job. The Secret Santa’s are unbelievable, in this time of deep need they show everyone what each of us are capable of.

Imagine Nate has been secret Santa this whole time! Lol

OMG, THIS SECRET SANTA DESERVES THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZEM WELL DONE

Turns out I can cry for an hour and 40 minutes straight.. Merry Christmas everyone and happy Thanksgiving!

I love watching secret santa because they give me hope for humanity

The Humbleness of those with so little is Amazing. We are All our Brothers Keeper.

..are you guys crazy? one or two is already difficult enough to hold back tears, but an hour and 42 minutes?? I stand no chance! happy thanksgiving!

In 2020, during pandemic Secret Santa raised the fund and started helping earlier than previous years. Amazing! Always loved to watch. Best wishes from Mongolia.

I love Yukos reaction to the second check lol. She did a double take like "wait.. $10,000!?" So genuinely appreciative. Blessings to her and her family

What a beautiful soul secret Santa is. I can imagine him seeing their faces glow up, and that’s when secret Santa smiles as a tear rolls down his face., then gently nods. Knowing he done the most beautiful thing ❤️🙏

Secret Santa if you see this. Thank You for your Awesomeness. I’m in North East Ohio and love what you do.

Hey Secret Santa, just to wish you Merry Christmas . May you be forever blessed with good health. Mr Nath you too. You are awesome.

So many great and humble people in the world. The world wouldn't be the same without them.

Secret Santa is awesome. This Guy, Nate, has such an infective personality. I love watching him, & the sound of his voice is so soothing. I couldn't imagine anyone else being a better Santa's Helper. Wonderful.

Secret Santa, It must be an amazing feeling watching all these videos and knowing how you positively impacted so many lives... not to mention the hundreds of thousands watching. You're a modern day super hero!

I could watch this forever. Can't hold back the tears.

I found these on my tv tonight. My sister passed away on Monday and my family has been struggling. She had ALS and was living with me. Thank you so much for posting these. You made my day.

These Secret Santa videos made my heart so happy while I worked 12 hr shifts on Christmas eve and Christmas night. I'm addicted and will continue watching new yrs eve right up to midnight. Bring on 2022.

I live in North Carolina but I look forward to watching these stories every year. Thanks Nate and Secret Santa

I want to be like secret Santa someday! How rewarding!!! This is INCREDIBLE!!!!

THIS is what actual helps humanity... people helping people! I love it! God Bless this man!

Nate is a pure savage. No filter when it comes to asking the most painful questions ever, and no pause when it comes to springing overwhelming surprises, and then dips hella fast and says “Have a good one.” 🤣😭🤣

Bless the secret santa. May he be blessed 10 fold.

Wish they did this in every town! Atleast someone cares! Godbless*

Secret Santa is a gift from God. To care enough to help others. God Bless him. And Mr. Eaton for helping him. . Blessings for you both.

Hi Nate, I'm from Plymouth, Wi. and I watch your program regularly, I am retired so the way I pay it forward is giving a helping hand where ever I can GOD BLESS YOU

I want to help someone this Christmas. I tried so hard when my kids were little to spread little money. These videos make me determined to find a way.

Thank you for giving to people in need Secret Santa 🙏💖👌💖👍💖...

May the Secret Santa blessed with good health and very long life.

This truly makes me want to move to East Idaho. What absolutely lovely people 🥰

I love this spirit in people. I wish it was all year long 🥰🇨🇦

How can I hold back my tears with so much humanity

Geez , it brings tears to my eyes when I see you bring so much relief to so many needy people. Thank you from Australia.

I left my phone on while I fell asleep. I woke to this video and such joy filled my heart. Thank you for being so amazing and generous. It gives me hope and strength to know such people are in this world! Merry Christmas Secret Santa!!!

"Our prayers have been answered! " Proof positive that you, Secret Santa, are answering God's calling. Blessed are you!

Secret Santa is my favorite every year. It lifts my spirit and inspires me. God bless you. Debbie here from the Philippines.

This is Christmas at it's best..Bless this secret Santa.

If only we all did this, in any way we could pay it forward, this world would be a better place. That's the lesson in life. To make a change in someone's life. To reach out and tell someone you're not alone in this fight, I'm here with you. Whatever it is, pay it forward. My family don't have much but we have each other and we know what it feels like to go without, so this year we decided to pay it forward instead. We just count our blessings that we're all together to see another year to come. May God bless everyone reading this.

Thank you Jesus .. This man has a heart for people. I pray you Bless S.S. And the men who deliver their gifts💝💝💝

Secret Santa, Merry Christmas and God bless you...

I can never watch these things without balling in tears ! I just couldn’t imagine someone coming to your door and doing these blessings ! Worse still these are just 1 percent of struggling people ! My mother in law took her own life because of mortgage and tuff times so , my tears are so so heavy ,if only some Santa helped her . Di Riley of Campbelltown . She was a angel to everyone she had anything to do with ! God bless Dianne xxxxxx

I don’t know who secret Santa is , but what a wonderful thing to do with an over abundance of Gods blessings . Thank you so much for sharing ......

You guys are making a change in the world,thank you 🙏

Following from Italy, while recovering from Covid. Great Secret Santa and great staff! Ciao a tutti, happy Thanksgiving! John

Dear Lord and Secret Santa 🎅 thank you for answering the prayers of these deserving, struggling and still happy and strong families. 👏

Secret Santa is a magical person ❤

You can't help to not CRY out of happiness for the families and thanks to the secret santa and Nat in how he delivers the gifts.

Wanna see a grown man cry .. have him watch that last one the f150 was just amazing!

Nate, Nate and More Nate... This one made me cry... Thank you so MUCH Secret Santa. You Literally ARE making People's Dreams Come True... Temple View Elementary...Rocks. Woo, Crabbles, Seattle, Washington State... I have always said "we NEED this in every State. Oh my, I Love, Love his Pink Floyd T-shirt! I should have waited until the end to speak..."I had no idea, I am glad you shared that with me" so very COOL Nate. In my community, I feel like this part is because Nate said Secret Santa reads some of these. I feed Our Missionaries. I am known in Their District as Sister G. It is my heart that prompt me (and the direct communication with hungry Servants of Our Lord). In our community, I am known for the 'go to'...Thank You for Giving. Love IS The GREATEST Attribute.

Isn't this just wonderful? God bless them both!

Even though I've seen all these, I have to watch this! I love watching over and over! Love you Secret Santa!

This is all I want to do in life! Oh how I wish more people would find joy in giving instead of possessing!

I could watch for hours! Warms my heart✝️❤️

I am awed at the generosity...of the Secret Santa who funds the gifts, of East Idaho News owners and staff who distribute the gifts, of Nate Eaton who masterfully presents the gifts with great respect for the dignity of the recipients, of the community who notice the needs of others and make the effort to bring them to the attention of the program. You are all a part of this awesome way of people caring for people. My Santa Hat is off to you! Rev. Dianna Niemann-Harris from Missouri

It's time east Idaho news did a special gift award for the secret Santa and do a reveal at the same time , that would be epic .

Nate: So when do you have time for yourself? Teacher and Single Mom: “What?”

It's a blessing to see this couple blessed. 🙏

I prey one day I can Bless all in need... Thank you Santa..
