      I can’t help but always wonder who the Ss is..
      thinking it must be the owner of Klim- they have so many Klim jackets! Wonderful marketing if not! Lol 😅

    I dont know who the Secret Santa is but he/she is blessed. They have inspired me to donate money to our counties. Shop with a Cop for underprivileged children. I live in rural NC, where Hurricane Helene hit. There are many children who will have no Christmas. Bless you Secret Santa.

For me, in Jerusalem, surrounded by a hot war, these Secret Santa videos bring a smile to my lips, and tears of joy streaming down my cheeks. Shalom from the Holy City of Jerusalem.

    Such lovely people. Evan was very sweet, so surprised. I love that the gifts help people but also remind them that they are loved and that sometimes good things happen anyway.
