The EastIdahoNews.com 2017 Secret Santa Special 

🙏❤😇❤🙏

Yes❤️👍👍👍👍

She immediately wanted to know who nominated her! She is truly grateful for this, I'm crying!

I'm so fucking jealous

So does Steve Hartman of CBS News.

That is SO TRUE!! My son is exactly like that. I used to give him gifts and think he didn't appreciate it, that nothing was enough for him, it took me years to understand it

@@Tribute2Mike Thats so great that you see that. Many people think others are not thankful but everyone shows appreciation in a different way. I try to give back as a way to show appreciation :)

True. And even though some don't show the usual emotion! Dosnt mean they don't appreciate it just as much?.. bless them

Yeah, I'm glad to see there aren't dumb comments (that I've noticed at least) about "They didn't seem happy! They didn't cry!" and other nonsense like that. People react differently to emotions, that's also why some people cry during movies while others don't, why some people laugh when they get nervous while others don't etc. To expect everyone to just break down in tears whenever something emotional happens is just showing a complete ignorance of human beings and of emotional responses.

@@gnawershreth very well said

That is true. Even someome like me, far far from East Idaho, not even in America, from Asia, found these Secret Santa giveaways and watching every one of them since after.

I understand why you'd want that, but the news is there to inform us. We kinda have to talk about the negative stuff and politics.

Then vote against Trump.

lol if people found out it was donald trump who was the secret santa. they would call all these gifts "racist"

@@dusty616l 🙄

True...it was awesome

Agreed. What an amazing woman.

I'm Blown Away by the Strength that people have.

👍

@@Zorn76 you will be surprised by the strength you have within you when you are put in a terrible situation

I thought so , too! I just sat and thanked God, for people with kind hearts! So touching...

people who have less usually are the ones that give the most...

Anaywilly B Absolutely, been to India many times, people in the West think they’re poor but Indian people don’t think they’re poor, they just don’t need all the material things people in the West have with their shallow first world problems. And the people in those villages across India and welcoming and generous.

Coldstreamer957 I hope you are wrapped in warmth (January 2020) I wholeheartedly agree and have watched repeatedly Carla's gift and can't stop being over joyed in her spirit of Happiness.

The poor People of money cause in heart and kindness its 100% powerful of anyone else love to help People and bring happiness to anyone they know how life is brutal

Yeah, he and the secret santa makes you want to live in East Idaho

K D yes he is awesome

Agreed

I like that you can hear and see the sympathy and empathy in him with a lot of these stories.

Yes ❤️

this is a community effort........

When I was a teen, my parents were friends with a couple. The husband ran 5Ks and stuff and one day just tripped over his own feet practicing and it felt wrong. Turns out it was ALS. The wife was just an absolute rock for years as he fought using experimental treatments and stuff to delay the effects. Such a wonderful display of love.

Kelley Knapp , Idaho, YOU ROCK !!

Idaho seems like a land of gold and hugs

Lots of respect to all the people in Idaho!

Haha hahaha

He seems kind! I love this. Thank you secret santa and thank You, God, for touching hearts.

He sees a lot of hardship, probably very difficult for him at times.

2020 still watching these he is amazing and he setting example to us all and also to his kids he says his little elfs

I loved that comment too!

He was great! I'd love to hang out with him

Merry Christmas & God bless to you too Steve!!

Seriously. I’ve been being watching these the last few days. I’m a single mom, working poor but I know it could be worse. I watch these to remember to be thankful for what I have.

Know what you mean. I was always considered a grumpy old man and here I am sobbing like a girl. There are good people out there.

Grown ass man here also, many tears were shed. So happy to see people who really need help actually getting help. If you'll excuse me i i must go mop the keyboard moat.

Grown ass woman here lol, I just love these videos. Secret Santas all over the world are the best.

Dave Johnson I agree! Gosh, just so sad!

I lost it on that one. She is so positive it makes all my problems seem petty. God bless them.

Ikr😭

I just read that unfortunately the man with ALS passed away 😢

secret santa rocks...thank you for helping when and where you can..God bless

Yes but congratulations on the wife’s support.

What an exceptional wife.

o crap men, my heart broke too. His wife is such a hero man...

So Sad indeed 😭

I lost my dad to ALS. It's one of the cruelest diseases a person can get.

What is ALS?

@@robynbryant4274 It's Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly called "Lou Gehrig's Disease." Your muscles cease to work, progressively getting so bad your diaphragm muscles fail and you die. It's slow and it's awful.

"String cheese?!" Haha yes she was wonderful. So cheerful:)

“Spaghetti? Pie? Does anyone want any?” ❤️😀

You should not have to be wealthy just to be able to get well!! I can’t believe the suffering of all these people. America needs a fair health system that looks after EVERYONE.

Carolyn M we need Bernie

Eric Fical God I hope your parliament can get it together and manage to agree on something SO important which affects almost everyone. I just do NOT get it. Life looks very hard in America if you're an average family and happen to get sick. I can't even imagine how some of these people manage at all. I work hard and cost of living is high where I live in Australia but I know if I or my children get sick our health system will cover the costs. it's such a small cost out of the taxes of working Australians, and it covers everyone.

Me too .I love helping people..🖐🏽🖐🏽

You don't have to be wealthy to be a difference maker. 💖

Poor thing seems challenged.

Me too ❤️

@@huub1989 Challebged with a huge heart, I suppose

Omg.. you aren’t kidding

What is ALS

gimmesome truth It’s Lou Gehrig's disease

Death sentence. I’ve lost one friend and have 2 others with it now, diagnosed the same month. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclorosis. 3-5 year life expectancy. Only the very outliers live longer. It presents similarly but they don’t have a clue what causes it. And there is 0 and I mean 0 treatment. NOTHING. It may turn out to be as many as 6 different things: diet, repetitive brain injury, genetic, military service, varsity college sports. All are risk factors. It absolutely horrible as one slowly loses bodily function yet maintains 100% mental clarity. A victim becomes a prisoner of their body: can’t breathe, chew, swallow, move much more than an eyeball.

@@Chinookman God Thats horrible!!! OMG!!

I do. Every time!

Agree ! 👏❤️

Good morning ❤️🖤💜

Yes bless her heart.

Me too. It's personality crusher not being to be able to smile around people when you want too.

@@jeanettedavies8665 I struggled with this my whole childhood, finally got my braces on around 22 y/o. Got them off right before my wedding. Your time will come!

Totally !

They don't have cold hearts ,they have no hearts .!!!

The same a year later

I brok my heart it hits hard

Plz

This is just one of many reasons I believe in GOD!

jealous of the recipients............sad, huh?

Eight kids and dogs wow.

IDK, I’d rather the cute elf took over...

He is so genuine, I think that it helps the recipients to be more comfortable accepting large gifts.

Trust me I feel wired crying too

@ Hailey...LOL... u made me laugh thru my tears... :-)

LOLOLOL. Don't have a baby over it, or DO!!!
