I absolutely love that this presenter doesn't talk down to or patronise ANYONE. He treats them as if they're all as smart and mentally able as he is (which of course they are), and it's so refreshing. He's a genuinely good person, I can see it from a mile off.

That guy with cerebral palsy is such a cutie.

Does anyone else grab a coffee and a large box of tissues knowing they are going cry a river watching these stories or is it just me ?

Nate Eaton treats people with such dignity. He radiates a genuine concern for people who, in many situations, are not at their best physically and so may be feeling somewhat self conscious. He appears to treat people as if they are a much beloved family member. Thank you, Nate, from a resident if Knoxville TN who has watched your work both in the Secret Santa capacity and in your role as a news reporter (have been following the Daybell case). You and your team are in our prayers.

The young man with cerebral palsy just had me smiling he was just so ful of joy so polite and his smile just lifted my heart

Makes me ashamed of when I feel sorry for myself for miniscule problems in comparison. These people are a blessing.

Nate Eaton is top notch journalist. Love these stories, all year round.

1.11.19; I just found this program. Been watching for a few days, shedding tears, lots of tears...Good tears.

The carol singers had me in tears, beautiful hearts ♥️ I’m from uk and I think Americans are a lot more loving than British I cry at everything I’m so in the wrong country

I'm binge watching these ... Going on about 5 hours now... I'm stuck and can't get out!

Don't know why I can't stop watching....

Rest In Peace Camie fly high gorgeous young angel

The host delivers, knows how to blend well with the people around him.. such great voices..

I’m from NH, and I never plan on leaving. However, if I do for whatever reason, I hope I end up in a community like East Idaho

god bless secret santa, god bless you all

I’ve watched many of these from California. Love this host and think he did an amazing job with each story!

Six years later these stories resonate as strongly as they did in their immediate moment. What a powerful reminder of who we are called to be. Nate Eaton handles this beautiful task with such complete grace and humility. 🎅🏼

Im so happy the lady, a stranger, have this little baby.

The young women named Hope who took on her two younger brothers and went to cash her check and provided a Christmas to several children under the banks “Angel tree” I’m BAWLING

The first guy in the video is so precious bless their hearts!

everyday should be christmas. Bringing kindness to all.

I have never been more motivated and encourage to love more....God bless secret Santa and everyone involved...with love from Nigeria.

I cried at @33:16 “the six year old asked Santa for her dad’s voice back so he can read her a story. She wants him to get better.” (Her dad has a terminal brain tumor and he can’t talk anymore.) 😭😭 instead of asking for toys 😭 They are in my prayers.

Oh my God, the Musical Chorus and the families are all so Beautiful, so many losses, but Great Team from East Idaho News( Nate), +Secret Santa, i have to Stop watching those..😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Lots and Lots Of Love I Send to all of You, from Quebéc!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A lot of these story's r so deserving n make u Terry eyed thanks to secret santa for helping these people

This show just touched my heart. I find that I have tears for each person that is helped. Thank you Secret Santa!!!

I love you people ,but you make me cry ,I think you people are the greatest

I really admire Nate Easton. He seems like a good human being. Those are sometimes hard to come by.

Nate from East Idaho news is a class act, esp when he visits and presents gifts to those in need. It is obvious he has empathy and compassion on those less fortunate. May God Bless the secret Santa for his generosity and compassion on those in need.

I wonder if the secret Santa really realizes the impact they are having.....bless them they have lifted so many hearts

What a wonderful and joyous thing to do for people less fortunate and in need. God Bless whoever did this for these people.

So over here in England we call Secret Santa the NHS..seriously though this is great and is helping me restore my faith in humanity..especially in this world we live in right now.Wish I was in a position to help people out like this.x

After watching hours of these, I am struck by the number of challenges are faced every day. It appears they are faced with faith and grace. So grateful hearts are touched.

Hi, Im from Australia ...this just melts my heart... Ive sat here all morning crying tears of joy and sadness. These beautiful deserving people have reminded me to be thankful and grateful for all we have and to appreciate those around us as we never know what tomorrow will bring and who is suffering in silence.... God Bless them all.,,This is a 2016 story..Are you still doing secret Santa now? Wouldnt it be wonderful if this could happen in more places ...Merry Christmas to you...

Every time I watch one of these videos I just feel so happy and makes me want to pass the kindness on I am so blessed that there are people out there who will be that kind to others

This is my third installment of watching these WONDERFUL WONDERFUL videos with tears In my eyes.😥😢 God Bless Merry Christmas to all 🛐🙏✝️🎄🎅🤶⭕❌

Bless this is so lovely. What iron hearted people have disliked this?

Loved the Singing by the Young People singing to the Sweet Lady who lost her husband from falling off the Ladder. Of course, my Prayers to all these Families.

I wish more people did this! I love this! Oh my, this has got me teary eye’d!

32:50 “Know that there’s people who love you and care about you.” Pretty wisely said and I think this message should be told to people more often in today’s hectic and materialistic world.

Love this ❤❤❤❤❤🇩🇰❤❤❤❤❤❤you are amazing and you make the world a better place❤❤❤❤

Having such a hard time this whole year but watching this is absolutely warms my ❤️ my God bless these secret Santa’s 🙏🏽🎄

The reruns are as heartwarming as the new segments. A gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, Secret Santa.

Jake's shirt is really cool! I love watching these stories in the morning. Keep doing what you guys do.

I absolutely love these videos and no matter how old the videos are they still bring tears to my eyes and makes me see the good in people

How lovely that the family has made a loving home for the children that lost their parents. We may not see the reaction we expect, mainly to do with so much going on to ensure the kids feel loved and protected. Adding four children to your own family is a massive undertaking. The girl raising her brothers with the tattoos cashed the cheque only to help other children to ensure they had a Happy Christmas. The world needs more people like this who set an example for the rest of us.

That choir is kiiiiillin it!

I wish we had this! Tears of Joy! Thank you East Idaho News and Secret Santa!

What an amazing singing choir!! Love that!! As a musician, that's really awesome to hear talent like that!

Mr. Eaton is the perfect news professional. To do this job. Bless him and God Bless Secret Santa

I live in Florida and I bet I watched everyone of these amazing, heartfelt stories of kindness. I just love paying it forward. Great job guys.

I had never seen such a beautiful smile until I saw the one on this first young man's face. He's handicaped and all, but what a smile!!! Love it

God bless you guy and secret santa!!! :)

The second one made me cry

2019 and your words still speak volumes god bless all ❤️from England little behind 😊

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, sat here watching on Christmas morning,cried my eyes out. Love from Australia

I'm moving to East Idaho and will have my greatest Life there with Loving and Hopeful Idahoans!! Join Me!!

So many people have problems it seems anymore! Health issues, job losses and bills piling up! Nate and the Secret Santa know how to be feeling human beings who want to help. We need more of them! 😀

I’m so impressed with you wonderful people, secret Santa and East Idaho News. The best gifts are those heartwarming stories. You made my Christmas allowing me to share these stories. Thank you so much 😊

This is so amazing! I Love this and Love so many blessings and people so happy and that makes me so happy and joy to my heart. Love happiness in the world. I Love seeing people happy.

Bless you Secret Santa and your wife!! These stories melt my heart. The sad stories break my heart too. You will forever be in my heart and one day I hope to meet you! And say thank-you for being such good people. XXX

Why do I keep watching these. All I do is cry.

How sweet. I don't know any of you in Idaho but the people seem very nice. I live in PA and for 21 yrs have trapped, spayed, neutered dumped feral cats, paid for all with our own money. This is 2020 and we are MAXXED out on credit cards for caring for abused animals, sick, surgeries, meds, all. Then, retirement hit and things are so bad. But, PA doesn't have neighbors like you seem to. Although not quite behind, we are barely holding onto 10 rehabs rescues in the house and feed anywhere from 12 to 18 feral animals every day. I go without to feed them but we get by. There is no one to replace my love and care for these animals. I am 69 and have my impending 3 Rd bout of cancer but go on for them....my purr- people. Watching your Secret Santa uplifts my soul and renews my resolve to speak for these thrown out, shot, sick, injured babies who cannot speak for themselves. Thank you, Secret Santa, and God Bless You for giving help to these sweet, wonderful deserving people. Your heart is so special!!!

One of the sweetest videos ipray that greatful young man with ALS is doing so much better. Blessings galore to them❤️thank you Jesus. Nate And Santa 😘

Glad I came across this channel. Lots of health and many blessings to everyone that comes across this channel.

Nate how do you do this without breaking down? I've been binge watching these videos for 2 days now and I have been through 3 rolls of toilet paper wiping my eyes and blowing my nose. You have the best job on the planet and you are perfect for it! It's Nov. 2020 when I am writing this comment and after this year, this is the kind of thing that we all need to see besides all the ugliness the main stream media is putting out! God bless you all!

Very awesome! It's Beautiful to see these even though there are past Christmases! Heart warming with all the other not so great news. Dec 8th 2019

RIP Damian brave and handsome young angel

I love this episode. The veteran being able to see his son graduate made my heart sing. Thanks Secret Santa for easing the people of East Idaho's needs and giving them hope and sharing such kindnesses!

The lady who couldn't afford a headstone really got to me ;(

It's amazing how secret Santa has grown from this to what it is today. I think I remember the year he / her have 2 million. Absolutely outstanding for someone to do this .

What a blessing of a baby ! God Bless them ! Merry Christmas

Great video Nick, Secret Santa, and News team. Thank you secret Santa. It's a blessing someone can do stuff like this for others.

I love secret Santa. I don’t understand why people do a thumbs down.

This episode is a tear jerker! ❤

That is a really beautiful Headstone.

Blessings to the Secret Santa for all these Blessings 💫🙏🏽💖

I could go through things in this life, but I know my Father is right here through the storms. And I know to never giveup because I trust him with all of me. When i see things like these videos I see the Greater I am, the beginning and the end. The Alpha and Omega is always with us no matter what! I’m so grateful, THANKYOU LORD, AMEN!

Secret Santa your a Great Blessing.......Thank you for showing your Kindness and a Loving Heart....Merry Christmas to you and to the whole Team.....Merry Christmas....

Secret Santa makes me cry every time. People feel no hope. Then God Bless secret santa for stepping in. With caring love.
