These videos drop in Britain at 7am and I sit here with a coffee and start my day with them. I have been watching them for years. Each video makes me happy to be alive and grateful that this Secret Santa can wave his magic money wand and change so many people's lives. God bless her or him. I am also always amazed at how flat and empty Idaho is! Who cuts those giant lawns! And when the snow starts, wow - that puts you in a Christmas mood.
It makes me proud to be an American. You can get a similar feeling. Go hand out hot chocolate to the homeless. Or buy them gloves. Go to the electric company and pay the bill for someone about to get their electricity turned off. Spread the love.
Idaho has some beautiful mountains, it's just that this part of Idaho is flatter than all the rest! Being a mostly rural state, Idaho does look empty, especially when compared to England! We love having room to breathe! Although the rock and hedge fences in rural England captured my heart when I visited!! About the lawns, we all cut our own but I haven't seen a really big lawn - mine takes me almost 2 hours to mow, and it's not really all that big to me.
Aw, love that! It's so amazing how Secret Santa's kindness brightens the day for so many people, near and far, and all around the world! For us, they drop about midnight - it's a great way to end the day. Also, don't be deceived - much of Idaho is actually not flat at all, but very mountainous! Empty, though, yes, with lots of wilderness. The southern and eastern parts of our state, Secret Santa's region, are the flatter parts, as compared to our mountainous central and northern regions. The snow does put you in a Christmas mood for sure - surprisingly we haven't had much yet this year! God bless!!
Hang in there, momma. My son just turned 36. He survived brain surgery at age four. He has had seizures all his life. He has mild CP, autism and fractured his spine multiple times due to severe osteoporosis. At age thirty, he eared his black belt in martial arts. He is 6'5" and joined a workout facility over a year ago. He has ranked top in his class on a few competitions. My son has done things that his doctors never dreamed possible. I am here to let you know that it can get better. God bless you.
I live in France and have been watching these videos along with many other people around the world. Nate Eaton is wonderful as are the members of the Secret Santa team. Nate has been nominated for the Emmy awards in the past and he he long overdue to win one. This very busy man took the time to personally respond to an email that I sent to him in order to thank him for making so many people happy. I cherish that email and will keep it as a reminder to be kind to others as this team does. ❤
What a lovely little sunshine the kid was. No wonder it is easier to go through all apointments when the child is glad. Almost looked like a summer day.
Autism is so misunderstood by many who do not understand it . These Children are so special with special abilities . I to had a son with Autism . I was not familiar with it until he was diagnosed . But he was so capable of many things . I'm happy you helped this Family . He is a cutie .
On you tube you are seeing more and more kindness. Across the US there are lanscapers that are doing yards free. People taking some of their profit and reaching out to the homeless. Employees pitching in to help co workers. Can you imagine what this country would be if we all did something.
Briggs is absolutely ADORABLE!!! This family is so blessed to have Briggs, and Briggs to have them. God doesn't make mistakes, this was all part of his great plan. Sometimes we don't always see things the way God probably does, but we just have faith and know that it is absolutely the way it is supposed to be. My son is 36 yrs old, still looks like he's 12yrs old, still lives at home, he doesn't walk, talk, feed or toilet by himself, my son is also blind and deaf and medically fragile, but I just can't imagine my life without him. Special needs folks bring a different kind of beauty to life, but the beauty is there none the less, you just have to open your heart and your mind to be able to receive the beauty and the love that you were especially chose to be a part of. It might make our walk in life a bit (or quite a bit) different than typical, but no less valuable and wonderful.
I wouldn't say they're blessed to have a child with genetics disformities and will forever need assistance, like your son. Let's not pretend here. But you have to make the best of whatever situation that is handed to you!
God bless your family, too We learn so much from what we think are problems. I agree God doesn't make mistakes! One lesson we can learn is stop whining over the small stuff. ❤
GOD Bless Secret Santa!!!! Truely a blessing and a wonderful human!!!!!!! We love you Secret Santa!!! And we love you too Nate!!! Much love to everyone!! Merry Christmas!!!
As a mom I know how much that is going to help her what a true blessing I'm so happy for her well thank you Idaho news and all the people that help with this God bless you ❤️
My family is watching from the Netherlands, these visits bring us such joy, love and hope especially with everything that is going on in the world now. ❤
OMG, he really is adorable, and I'm glad he is improving with time. I wish him all the best with his future health and functioning. He certainly is in the right hands with his wonderful mother and obviously caring and loving father, as well as all of the people that are providing him care. I loved her additional write-in letter at the end, too. Thank you, Secret Santa!!
Im from the Philippines and I been watching for years now. Sometimes it made me cry. I thank God for all the gifts each year to people in need. God bless you more secret Santa
Such an adorable little boy. Thank you mummy for the love. Thanks Secret Santa. Thanks Nate and the crew. You make the world beautiful ❤❤..love from Ghana🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
As I live in France, I don't really follow East Idaho news very much. I do, however, come here to watch these videos every year during Xmas. Lovely heartwarming stories. Seeing deserving people being helped lifts the spirits in these troubled times. Idaho can be proud.
I love it! Most people don’t understand how challenging it is to the ENTIRE family, yes, siblings too, when there’s a new little addition who needs extra medical care. I hope this family is greatly encouraged!
Christmas is so much more special with Secret Santa stories! You not only bring hope to these people you bring hope to all who are watching! Thank you Secret Santa and Nate and everyone involved!🙏❤️
Keep going mom and dad! As a father who’s child took many years into his childhood to walk and tan and use his fingers ( he still has room to grow) we can’t believe how far along he is now. Although these children all have their things, u r doing a wonderful job of enjoying his strengths and helping him through his life’s struggles. Keep it up. It’s anazing the community of friends we get
I watch (and cry) every video here from my small town in WV. You do so much good I hope you this grows so big you reach the whole world. Thank you for having humanity at heart. I see a lot of people but, not enough humanity.
These are my favorite videos to watch. I look forward to them every year. This is exactly the type of thing I would do if I had the money. Wish there were more people like this. I hope Secret Santa knows that he/she is touching the lives of more than just the people in these videos.
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I truly love Christmas time. This exemplifies the Christmas spirit to me. And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nate is the PERFECT person for this job. I’ve heard him say multiple times “oh well it’s not me, im just the messenger” when people thank him. He makes sure it’s about the gift recipient, and when necessary he makes sure the person knows it’s from secret Santa. He never takes credit for anything. He deserves credit though.
An Autistic child has special needs and schooling My Grandson is Autistic but with God's help our family is getting through this. Now with a secret Santa This child will do better too. God bless that family.
Watching from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦. Thank you Nate, EIN team and Secret Santa. Your compassionate professional journalism is truly refreshing in such a dark world.
These videos are such a treat after a stressful workday! Father to a boy with autism myself. Watching from Denmark. Thanks for spreading so much joy and positivity ❤
Hello From Shreveport Louisiana. I've been Watching Nate & The Awesome Idaho News Crew for Years!!!! I Truly Wish that We have A Feel Good Friday & Especially Secret Santa because We So Needed it!!!!! But God Bless This Humbled Mom, Her Beautiful Son & Their Whole Family!!!! Northwest Louisiana & Southern Louisiana are So Well Divided!!!!!
This was SO very kind I have been watching you and your family Nate for a long time but this is my first time commenting. I LOVE when you do these and this family definitely deserves all the love and support. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 🎅🏼🤶🏻❤🎄to you & your family Nate.
Love is a choice. Alesia, Briggs, and their family are a beautiful personification of Love. May I wish them all the very best of Holidays and a future so bright they are almost blinded by the Light. I love these, East Idaho News. Thank you to you and Secret Santa❣️🎄💫🎆🎉
I'm from Fishponds , Bristol in England ! Watched this show for a couple of years now ! Everything about it is just wonderful ! Nate is brilliant !! So nice ! So sincere ! And his team !

That little boy is absolutely adorable. I wish him and his family the best. They don't have to worry about gas among other things all thanks to secret Santa

Inverse of me. They drop here at 2am in Ontario, Canada. I end my day with them. It’s the last thing a see before I drift off to sleep. 💤
It makes me proud to be an American.
You can get a similar feeling. Go hand out hot chocolate to the homeless. Or buy them gloves.

Such a great mom. My heart melted when Briggs said "Hi".
Yes, especially when Nate talked about Briggs being a non-talker - you can see he's really making progress despite the odds.
Yessss!!! I actually said it back to him followed by, “Yaaaaayyyy” ❤❤❤
As someone who has a kid with Autism, thank you Secret Santa. You made mama feel loved 😊
Yes! I get excited when my fellow special needs parents get a surprise from secret Santa 🎅

The word "autism" doesn't get capitalized.
@@mikegarippo7815 I don’t give a crap.
That little 'hi' from Briggs ... the absolute sweetest thing ever!
God Bless you Secret Santa
A 60 year old guy lost it when that precious child smiled!.
Beautiful Choice. Briggs is Adorable. The Optimism is Huge when you’re Struggling through Life. 👍🙏

Briggs saying hi was so sweet.
The cutest hi the world will ever hear. ❤
Hopefully these segments will inspire many millionaires and multi millionaires to do the same in their communities
And people like YOU who also have something to share, right? Doesn’t always have to be the rich!!
@@ronm2023 true, but the rich can have more impact as we see on these clips
What a little cutie! Secret Santa your generosity will help this family so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
