Secret Santa, I wonder if you realize how many people you are impacting that merely watch these videos. I view one each night this time of year before going to bed. It erases any negativity from the day and is a beautiful reminder of the love and kindness we want and need in this world.
This man that had his leg broken and burnt is my sister-in-law's dad. Me and my family have known if him decades and all he has ever done is help others. That is what he was doing when the gas tank exploded. I'm very happy that others are returning the favor.
There isn't a man better fit for this job than Nate. He's just comes off as so genuine and caring and you can tell he's a genuinely good person. You're the man, Nate. And Secret Santa was sent by God. Merry Christmas
You can’t lift everything that people go through but you can lift financial stress. This family is filled with gratitude and I’m glad they’ll have a safe way to travel. Car problems can be super stressful. Lifting the financial burden a bit will have a long lasting effect on them and they won’t ever forget, nor will their children! Secret Santa has been the answer to so many prayers!
@@TheSharron yeah … unfortunately I’m getting yelled at on. other people’s comments. I don’t think there’s much humanity left in this crazy crazy world. But I’m still very thankful for these people in these videos because it has helped me be a better person ! thumbs up👍🏼. 🤗
What's it like to go from driving an unreliable pile of junk to having a brand-new vehicle that is under warranty? It's greatness. Absolute GREATNESS. Such astonishing, profound, LIFE-CHANGING generosity! "Secret Santa," may Almighty God bless and keep you and yours!
AMEN to that! Most of us have been there and know with certainty what a blessing this is. Secret Santa knows just what and how much is needed by each person.
It really is. My wife and I worked hard, are fortunate, and we just replaced an old vehicle for her first new car in her life. Best feeling ever seeing her get it
Me, first thing in the morning: "Let's watch some secret Santa episodes!" Me, 5 minutes later, trying not to cry: "Why do I keep doing this to myself?!"
I really love his 'thank you' to Secret Santa, and also the message that he sent after the visit. One realises that he's humbly and gratefully accepting the gifts because he knows they're needed.
When the daughter said, “ it’s beautiful dad “, I burst into tears, there was love in the way she said it ! I would also like to say ,what a lovely family! Merry Christmas too all from the UK ❤️ xx
Nate, you are not only the #1 journalist and newscaster on Earth, but, I believe, the best one possible to be Secret Santa's helper, spreading Christ's love by giving this wonderful person behind the Secret Santa name. You have such a kind and easy way of relating to others, no matter who they are. You make East Idaho News Secret Santa the most happy and joyful program ever to watch (during the holidays or any time during the year). Thank you.
I don't live in Idaho but Nate is my favorite newscaster. Whether it's following the current madness or Secret Santa deliveries...he's just great at this job because he is so genuine, real and kind. He treats people with the upmost care and gentleness. I really love Nate Eaton.
I agree. They seem like such lovely, kind people. When the dad got emotional, I got teary eyed too. Wishing him a speedy recovery and blessings for his family.
Im in New Zealand and wish we had a Secret Santa to do things for people who have put their lives before others even in Tragic circumstances. I love Secret Santa.
What I hardly see mentioned is how many people in this area of Idaho have these incredible stories. Nate and the team have been doing these videos for years and every year it's more and more people and families needing help for one reason or another. Think about how many people in the World are struggling if there are soo many in this one area. God bless Secret Santa and Nate and his elves for bringing such joy to soo many lives.
Hi, I’m watching in Canada. My heart is broken as I watch this. I’m sitting in a hospital room with my mom who is not doing well. The stress of that & hearing my dad cry has kept my mood in a sad place. I want to say Thank you to Secret Santa for helping all these people. Through these clips I can feel my heart warm. God Bless all these folks & Secret Santa 😍
I was just watching this amazing expression of kindness again and I was looking through the comments and yours caught my eye. I know it shows that it has been a year since you posted this comment but I felt like I needed to respond. I am praying for your mother and your father too. I pray that you will be comforted too. Thank you for your kind words during this very difficult time in your life. Your kindness during your difficult time fills my heart to overflow.
Praying for Dallas and his son to be healed and so glad for Secret Santa’s gifts to this family in this time of need. It is so uplifting to my spirit to see such compassion and caring for all the people given the gifts.
I was doing good with not crying this time, but for some reason when Dallas didn’t just speak “Thank you” but signed it too, I broke. I’m so glad this family has been blessed and I’ll keep them in my prayers for a full recovery. 💜
I've noticed the overwhelming response in these videos is "Oh my gosh". THAT to me shows a community of faith. And God takes care of his flock. God continue to bless this community. Merry Christmas all!
I moved to eastern Idaho right before high school and lived there for three years (and have spent very little time there since moving away). The area is heavily Christian, with the largest group being the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I remember that church attendance among other Christian faiths there was also higher than what I saw in the other areas I Iived (northern Idaho and central Washington) before that.
I love how all the recipients of cars, never know how to open key. This shows, how much they needed the car, and how old thier car must have been. There was a teacher last week, who had 1980s car. Even I have a manual car, never know how to use these kinda car.
My mother was from Idaho. I used to spend every summer in Nampa and Caldwell. Wonderful solid people who are the salt of the earth. I used to love the Snake River Stampede parade and rodeo.
My father lost his entire business back a few years ago on Halloween. It was his father's shop before him... And he was also welding on a gas tank. (He is okay and thankfully he wasn't physically injured- besides some minor burns) but It can be very dangerous. I'm so thankful this man is doing ok and what a blessing this was, from Secret Santa, to him and his family! Can't wait to see the race next year!
You could tell watching these people the weight of the world had been lifted off their shoulders and the father writing that letter afterwards has brought tears to my eyes. Once again it helps you to remember how lucky and blessed we all are and that Jesus loves us ❤️
You cant protect yourself against all eventualities that might happen. Workplace accidents is a part of life. I will send my outmost thoughts to him that he doesnt get a stafinfection in the future. So his leg can heal. All the best in 2022 to this family.
Secret Santa, thank you for blessing this family. I don't sleep well and wake up often... but right now each night I am blessed with these videos. You are saving many families, one at a time.
The Joy of the Lord fills that house! This family has such a positive and grateful attitude it is a joy to watch them as they share their experiences. They are so thankful for everything that happens! May they continue to have God’s blessing and protection in this coming year. I wish I was there friend; they have a Wonderful Spirit within them!!! Merry Christmas!!
What a beautiful family. The way dad just instinctively signed "Thank You" as he said it, really touched me. I think I am going to adopt that practice, as I've been learning ASL in my spare time.
This was my favorite one. Nate is the luckiest. Dallas' message at the end when he mentioned how his children and grandchildren would never forget...that says it all. Our future needs this.
I just happen to come across this video 11 months after the fact, hope you are healing well and that your leg has been saved! God bless you and your family and God Bless Secret Santa, Nate and his crew. I never tire of watching these video's.💖💜
I love the positivity this man has. I have faith that he will be stronger than ever once he is healed. Merry Christmas to this family, from mine and myself in Indiana. Stay safe, stay blessed.
What a beautiful family. They are all so sweet. How amazing he knew what to do to save his leg and life. I am praying this is the last surgery and the Dad heals great. Plus I am praying for the Son to heal quickly. Kind of sad to come home 3 weeks early but it sounds like he served honorably. I loved getting to know this family. I love how the Dad started tearing up about the car. He did try not to. LOL. Merry Christmas and love to the East Idaho News team.
Everyone who receive the secret santa are well deserving people. I am glad they do their research and they are reaching out to kind lovely people who deserve a break.
Marshall thanks for serving buddy I live in the UK and a convert to the church and I am so grateful for your sacrifice for my eternal blessing thanks even though I don't know you but hopefully you will see this and be encouraged from Leeds England UK 🇬🇧
Oh my goodness. I always cry. But this time. I ugly cried. What a lovely man. You picked an amazing family Santa. Someday, I hope i can be a Santa like this too ❤️💞
Sending prayers from Jerusalem to Dallas for a swift, and complete recovery. Gifting Dallas and this beautiful family a car preserves their dignity. Precious. Thank you, Secret Santa, and East Idaho News.
Such a beautiful family. Secret Santa, you don't realize the weight you are removing from people's shoulders. May God continue to bless you in blessing others. 💜🧑🎄
What an unbelievably upbeat and beautiful family. All of them. Those kiddos are so adorable. Probably not even knowing what’s going on or why the grown ups in their family are crying and so happy. Prayers and blessings out to all of them! Xoxo
