This is Sandy, im 75 , 3 days after Christmas , ive been watching you for years. This makes me cry to watch what secret santa is doing for these precious people.
I watch all of the videos every year. What a blessing the Secret Santa is to the people of East Idaho. The people being gifted are such wonderful people that it makes me want to move there. I find myself crying along with the recipients. Keep up the wonderful work Nate.
Same , idk how Nate hasn't been scouted by good morning america or something yet. He's a great reporter and connects with us so well. I just love him and his beautiful family. ❤❤
I've been dreading the holidays this year. I've been watching your Secret Santa videos for a few days now, you guys have cheered me up and you make the world a better place. Thank you
Please consider volunteering at a community center (for the homeless or elderly?). You can help someone while cheering you up. Also having gratitude for what you do have has helped me enormously. Thanks Secret Santa!
Secret Santa is my favorite thing about Christmas. I have no family left and the holidays are very difficult emotionally being alone. Watching Nate deliver presents to all these deserving people in need lifts my spirits and I find myself crying with joy at the goodness of people and the reactions of the recipients, knowing that the quality of people's lives have been improved due to the kindness and generosity of these selfless, anonymous donors who care about other humans.
@@tulsacaupain2882 You are very kind and compassionate. Thank you so much for your words and wishes. Your reaching out means a lot to me. I wish you a season of joy and happy holidays as well.🥰🎄🎀
It's been almost a year since this comment and Christmas is coming soon. Sometimes I'm lonely too, so I know the feeling. Hopefully you're doing much better this year and this Chirstmas something wonderful is coming your way. Sending you warm wishes and virtual hugs. 😊
@@ilya.b I have to tell you your comment surprised me and warmed my heart! What a lovely, caring and compassionate person you are. You literally made my day!! Time has helped a little and a cousin I lost touch with who lives a couple hours away reached out to me and we have become close again like we were when we were younger. We talk by phone several times a week and visit when we can. I think Christmas will always be hard for me because I have lost so many members of my family. But so far I am doing better this year. I'm so sorry you experience loneliness sometimes, too. I guess it's the human condition, but can be very painful. Thank you for your beautiful comment and warm wishes. It is moments like this that make this life worth living. Sending you love, hugs and wishing you special times spent with those you care about. Hoping the holidays exceed your expectations and bring you joy. Thank you for reaching out to me. It means so much!😇🥰💝😄
@@lisas8244 oh, you're welcome! It's wonderful to hear, that you reconnected with your cousin! And I thank you back for the kind words, too. 😊 Merry Christmas to you and your cousin! 🎅🎄🎁
I love watching them too. I can’t imagine what they’ve been through. Mr. Mallard has two types of cancer, Mrs. Mallard had organ failure and a pick line put in. She was also still working. Wow, changes what I think is possible. Thanks Secret Santa for changing my life again!
Greetings to Secret Santa and East Idaho News crew from Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia! This program has become my favorite at the end of each year! Watching these people's stories I realize that our difficulties are nothing compared to these and I become grateful! All the blessings to Secret Santa!
Nate, how do you keep it together? These stories are so heavy. I love that you have this job, along with your amazing "elves". You are all amazing and THANK YOU Secret Santa!! God bless you all!!
I'm from Michigan and I just lost my husband 2 years ago . I had a car until it went out .I'm a single mom trying to help my parents go places but there care bout shot to and I'm also taking care my son who lives with me . God bless you all for Christmas .
Even simple gifts to people who don't have, means everything to them. There is a lot of joy in giving to those who deserve and are in need. God bless every one of you abundantly in health and wealth.
If Nate handed me a $1,000 check I'd be looking for a new vehicle😊. Even when feeling down during this season, these Secret Santa surprises bring joy!❤
I can't watch these and not be in tears GOD BLESS who every the Secret Santa 🎅 is !Thank you for helping the people that need some help Secret Santa! From, AKRON ❤❤😊😊
You know I'm 43 years old and I have been told my whole life that their is always someone in worser shape than we are and these videos prove that to be so true my heart goes out to all the families in need ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I live in California and this is my 3rd year watching the Secret Santa and feel good Friday shows. Can't tell you how much I cry watching them. The secret santa is truly a saint.
I Love this format of combining the many people Secret Santa n your Team have Blessed So far! Iʻm on SS Week 3! Iʻve followed this Amazing GiftGiving for about 3-4 yrs now from Maui!!! Many continued Blessings to you all!!!🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊🎉🎉❤❤
I am not from Idaho either, but England but I love watching these videos and usually starting crying at the first gift. I am not sure if East Idaho News is a tv show or newspaper but what a lovely, lovely idea. I have not heard of this scheme in England and it would be great if they did. Keep up the wonderful work.
My mom and her 5 brothers and sisters were born and raised in victor Idaho. Before I was born she moved from Idaho to salt lake I was born and raised in salt lake we for 3 mo went every day for 3 mo straight to spend day with my 36 week baby girl had a inutero stroke so she lived 3 months in the hospital the Dr said my daughter wouldn't make it through the night well she is 22 quadriplegic, CP, blind I need a vacation to Idaho haha!!
I love these Secret Santa video's Nate you do such a great job in Surprising all the different people you are such a kind and careing person! Love to you and your family and Merry Christmas from AKRON, OHIO ❤❤😊😊
Wonderful show possible because a great humanitarian is helping people. But I have noticed throughout these 3 videos from 2023 no recepient, except one lady from foreign country, said "Merry Christmas" to Nate or the Secret Santa".
I found your post curious as $2,500 is a lot of money. Since they are currently sleeping on air mattresses anything will be an improvement. The gift certificate was to Ashley Furniture store. I looked at their website. The family has three people who need beds. They can get a twin mattress and what I take to be like a box spring from $500. That means three sets will cost $1,500. They could then look around for twin bed frames and buy those used if they have the money. Or, they could buy a metal mattress frame for the same cost as a box spring. In this case, they'd have all three people sleeping on new mattresses and off the floor for $1,500. They could buy a six-drawer dress for $200. Secret Santa seems to be on the ball and know exactly what he's doing.
@@marksterner7532 nope I usually am pretty positive. I am glad she got money and gifts. Just being real. I hope I am wrong. I really wasn't trying to be negative.
I wonder if the secret santa watches these and cries like i do. He gives so many families love and hope. God bless everyone!
every town should do this for their community
I agree with you. However, our country is so divided, and will be unfortunately that way for years to come.
Watching These videos have become my families Christmas tradition 💕

If one of the other news agencies scoot him up then we won't be able to enjoy him on secret santa
@simzali4575 oh I don't necessarily want him to go, but I can't believe they haven't snagged him yet. Whether i like it or not.
I'm not in America I'm from London UK
Yeah, I am also not from Idaho. In fact I am not even from America, I live in South Africa. But I love watching these secret Santa videos. ❤
So many people are struggling in this world. It's always good to be reminded of how truly fortunate I am.

So ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Nate, The Secret Santa & The Whole Idaho News Crew. I Watch Them All Year Round!!!!
Asking GOD’S blessings for Secret Santa and those he helps!!
Becky is great! I love that she joked “what else have you got?” I really don’t think she expected that third gift!
To know that someone is thinking about you and loves you, is powerful medicine.❤
God bless Secret Santa.
Everytime I watch these Secret Santa videos of East Idaho News it always warms my heart.
Imma tell you, yall are greatly blessed to have someone or someones to bless your communities in such a way.And God bless "secret santa"!!!!!!!!
Indeed "the right people have been chosen to ease their burdens...even just by a little"

I'm not crying you are
great family
I live in winnipeg mb Canada. I love these videos.
Thumbs up.
He's handsome, should be modeling!
love this but the torch on Nates jacket distracts me, and now I keep looking for it lol
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's living in Idaho...
Get a box of Kleenex by the computer before you watch these amazing Santa drops
❤
Is everyone being blessed LDS?
Nope, they aren't all LDS
25:26 I thought the $5000 was the medical insurance
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
sounds like Idaho is a great place to retire🎉
Wonderful show possible because a great humanitarian is helping people. But I have noticed throughout these 3 videos from 2023 no recepient, except one lady from foreign country, said "Merry Christmas" to Nate or the Secret Santa".
It's sad that is only Happens in Idaho. And it's sad it's only LDS..
No music would be best. At least not so loud.
His name is Nate but his jacket says klim
7 kids. 😂
7 kids she looks to young. Wow
The Doyle family needs exstreme home makeover to build them a safe home in 1 week verses a year.
Such a nice gift but unfortunately $2500 won't buy much. Furniture and mattresses are so expensive. I hope she gets more then 1 bed.
Do you live in East Idaho?
