After the heartbreaking but lovely gift this morning to the families of the young lovers that past away, this was a more uplifting vid. We cant have a baker without a working oven.
They are very lucky, but I think they sacrifice a lot to make it happen. This is very, very time consuming, and they never let on how exhausting it must be to squeeze in these trips, some of which are a couple hours each way.
Let’s not forget the horrific things Nate and East Idaho News has had to report on these last several years…. Vallow, Daybell, the 4 students. I am happy they get to do some heartwarming reports as well! Bravo Team EIN!!!
I totally agree...Nate...that was so fun and awesome watching you help them fill their carts!!! God Bless secret Santa!!! Just such a FUN Secret Santa!!!! :)❤❤❤
Same! I was smiling early on as Peggy was picking up extra bits for the husband's trolley in the first two minutes, then ended up fully laughing as they broke all the rules by extending the time, then giving up with a timer, all while Nate was loading armfuls of extras into the trolleys for them! 😂 It says a lot about them as a couple, though, doesn't it? That they had all that extra time and help, and still spent less than half of the allocated amount. Clearly not greedy people, making this even more deserved 💕
So sorry to hear that! Hoping you will be so much better before Christmas Day..let's hope right now!, so that you can get what you been wanting to do, before!! Blessings ✨️ and a Merry Christmas 🎄
True. Unfortunately, the media always goes with "If it bleeds, it leads." It's about time to start sharing good things happening instead of always focusing on the bad.
My mom was a wonderful cook. If, someone passed away or someone was sick. Mom would make sure the family was fed. My mom passed away almost 35 years ago. Me and my roommate have kept that tradition going. During Covid, people weren't getting together with family. We made Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for a couple dozen family and friends. So many people weren't doing great during that time. My sister was the delivery elf.
you can tell theyre great people because theyre not clearing shelves, they needed to be given extra time because theyre not in a rush to get the most out of it. What a sweet heart
I agree. The grief was so raw. I’m not sure if much is given offline that the viewers never see. If so the families of the young couple should have been given offline. It was so distressing and sad.
I was like wow! Look at him load their carts too! Even at the end, he asked what their favorite candy bars were and put the entire container on the belt!
I agree. Some of these Secret Santa stories are heart breaking. A few months ago Nate was covering the Chad Vallow/Daybell trial (murdered children) so he deserves a little break from the more serious stories.
How was not grabbing a lot of each item being "considerate of others?" Would others have to do without if they took a lot? The store would just refill the shelves. They spent too much time running from place to place instead of finding a spot and loading up on they could store and easily add to cart (spices, tuna fish, peanut butter, chicken breasts, canned stew, etc). Two people running around for 3 minutes and only getting $1,478 isn't very good. They had the total bumped up, so it worked out ok. If they didn't do so poorly I doubt the station would have bumped up the total.
@@walte153 there is not always stock available to just put some things out on the shelves. There is also no reason to grab hundreds of dollars of meats and frozen items that you will have nowhere to put them when you get home. Take what you need, not what you want. It says a lot about someone’s character when they display this as a normal behavior.
@@brucew7062 Nope. I don't think they brought them to a store with near empty shelves. The store is being paid for what is bought. Who said she had to only grab meats and frozen goods... or any at all? How about pet food, razor blades, tuna fish, spices, corned beef, cans of ham, and more. No freezing necessary. Sometime realism should enter the picture. They could be "nice" and next week wonder why their kids are hungry again.
I believe what is coolest about this is they were buying ingredients to pay this foreword. Ingredients for more fundraising cookies. Hard to find people like this now days but darn happy they were recognized for their efforts
That was amazing, and the fact additional items were added by Nate was a bonus. Was great to see the Aussie Tim Tams mentioned. Thank you Secret Santa.
Living in the north east, I came across this channel and truly brings the meaning of Christmas to such people who really need help. Shows the world is still a great place and not just negativity
OMG! This made me so happy I cried. What a deserving and humble couple to receive such a gift. It really is what you put out into the world that comes back to you when don’t expect anything.
Now, after that tough tough one from this morning... this was just what we needed. A really fun bunch of gifts for such a wonderful couple. That shopping trip was a joy and they were being so courteous and not grabbing everthing. Super one to watch and when you gave that extra £1,500 at the end that smile was so worth it. Bravo to you all.
I think Nate had and even better time helping fill up the shopping cart with the couple. May God continue to Bless this family, Secret Santa, and all the crew at East Idaho News.
Aussie viewer here....as if you hadn't already won me over with your (and Secret Santa's) generosity....those Tim Tam's sealed the deal!😅 This was a truly joyous episode of Secret Santa. They're going to have a wonderful Christmas.
@gerardroll6468 My top 3 would be caramel, white chocolate and honeycomb but the original slaps. How much do you guys pay for a pack over there. We are at 3.99 still worth it though.
@@Jamison1888 … It depends on where you shop as to how much you pay for them. I live just north of Sydney & at my local stores, I’ve seen them “hover” anywhere between $3.50 - $5 a pack, but I don’t care about that. I’ve loved them since my childhood & when it comes to a good chocolate “fix”, you can’t go wrong with the Tim Tams, regardless of the price ❤️🍫🫶❤️
Hello from Edinburgh, Scotland. UA-cam randomly recommended these secret santa videos. This is such a fantastic idea, and helping people in ways that help them. I work for non-profits, so these give me a huge smile. Keep doing what you're doing, and thanks - to the channel and the wonderful people they're thanking too.
This was one of my favourite secret Santa gifts! I loved how Nate was grabbing extra stuff for them. It shows what kind of people they are in that they were seemingly being polite and selecting just a couple of each item they wanted. Thank you secret Santa - not only for the joy it brings to the recipients but also to those whose watch every year. Thank you to Nate and EIN. Love from 🇨🇦
I just commented something very similar regarding the fact that they were not taking a whole lot of items even though between the two of them they could have probably covered the entire store and emptied a lot of shelves but they definitely seem to intentionally take less rather than more
A BIG THANK YOU to Secret Santa for everything you have done and continue to do. To NATE, The Team and Whole News Station THANK YOU for ALL your hard work. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE 🎅🌲🦌⛄
I just cannot believe this. What a great person this Secret Santa is. Wish we had one here. Thank you Nate and East Idaho News for bringing us these terrific stories.
Tears...but HAPPY ones...This was so much fun to watch, & how nice that someone who is such a "giver" herself, is now on the receiving end...This was a pure joy to watch...EIN, Nate, & the MOST beloved, *Secret Santa,* thank you for your kind & loving hearts! 🎅🏻❤🎄
I’m a craggy old fart but these bring moisture to my eyes. No words that can give justice to my respect for the secret Santa and EIN. Great folks. Edit:the cashier should get a little something
That literally brought me to tears. It's wonderful to see good hard working people actually catch a break in a big way.
She seems like a such a sweet woman. The kind that is genuinely kind to everyone she meets. Rare these days.
My wife is a lot like this
. She is always cooking and baking stuff for friends, family, and people in our neighborhood.
Whoever Secret Santa is - they definitely have the spirit of Santa in their hearts!!!
Absolutely awesome. Thanks Nate for taking us along
This literally melts my heart, how amazing is this. The love is just overwhelming. 😢
beautiful people, beautiful video, everything is beautiful.
Watching Secret Santa is like getting a Christmas present every day.
Yes! 🎉🎉🎉
Yes!!
This comment needs to be on the top.
it is like advent calendar - new sweet story every day
M&Ms? Let's just take the box,wonderful vid for a very deserving lady,stay safe
Bless you secret Santa. Did you see their smiles? You have such a generous heart.😊
Very kind soul she is......love seeing her rewarded for her selfless service to others in need!
Prayers that The Lord keeps secret Santa healthy and Blessed 😇 ❤
After the heartbreaking but lovely gift this morning to the families of the young lovers that past away, this was a more uplifting vid. We cant have a baker without a working oven.
When the mother of the daughter started crying, I was too, and had to turn the video off. Yes this was so uplifting after that prior video.
Love it. .
@dougadams9419Really Unnecessary...
Amen, very well said. I was thinking that too but I didn’t come near getting my point across. Thank you.
Exactly!
Can you imagine being lucky enough to have a job where you are paid to bring joy and happiness to others? Nate (and his team) are very fortunate.
They are very lucky, but I think they sacrifice a lot to make it happen. This is very, very time consuming, and they never let on how exhausting it must be to squeeze in these trips, some of which are a couple hours each way.
Let’s not forget the horrific things Nate and East Idaho News has had to report on these last several years…. Vallow, Daybell, the 4 students. I am happy they get to do some heartwarming reports as well! Bravo Team EIN!!!
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory but if you love your job then it doesn't feel like a sacrifice IMO -- and I think Nate is one that LOVES his job.
How many years has the station done this?? Is it all donations??
@@CalTekI would think so.
I love how you’re running behind her grabbing the oils and what nots, Nate. You’re so helpful and caring.❤
I totally agree...Nate...that was so fun and awesome watching you help them fill their carts!!! God Bless secret Santa!!! Just such a FUN Secret Santa!!!! :)❤❤❤
It was so heartwarming to see them all enjoy it ..such kindness
That was awesome, getting the things she needed but was passing up for higher value items.
Peggy was helping too! Bless her heart!!
2 minutes! So short!
one of the best secret Santa I have seen....GREAT JOB.
Nate: What is your favorite candy bar?
Husband: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
Nate: *dumps entire box onto conveyer belt*
Husband:
👁👄👁
Such a positive vibe in today’s society👍
Props to the service staff on this one.
Gee Wizz- That female checkout operator was FAST!! Wish she could train the snails at our supermarket!
@@donr2176 She was fast but you'd think they would have had a bagger there! She was doing it all herself.
$500 would be so meaningful but with those !!!!! my heart is exploding with envy!
I was laughing as I watched Nate filling in her cart. This was such a joyful and fun Secret Santa Surprise.
Same! I was smiling early on as Peggy was picking up extra bits for the husband's trolley in the first two minutes, then ended up fully laughing as they broke all the rules by extending the time, then giving up with a timer, all while Nate was loading armfuls of extras into the trolleys for them! 😂

I know right? I laughed so much!!! Nate is a trip!
What a humble couple.
I’m currently sick with a virus, and I cannot tell you how much joy this video has given me! Thank you Secret Santa, Nate, and all the crew!
So sorry to hear that! Hoping you will be so much better before Christmas Day..let's hope right now!, so that you can get what you been wanting to do, before!! Blessings ✨️ and a Merry Christmas 🎄
Just wanted to "second" @59Alaskan's comment 💖
Get well soon! Hope that you manage to still have a great Christmas, with love from the UK 💕🇬🇧
I know....I had a Horrible, No Good, Very bad day, yesterday and today, and this was what I needed to watch to get out of my miserable mood.
Hope you feel better soon! I see alot of people online say they aren't feeling well so bugs are going around right now! ☹️
Get well !!! That's an order 😉
Secret Santa to you I owe my highest regard. God bless you. 🙏🔥❤️🫂💐🙋♀️
In spite of what the media would have us believe - goodness is alive and flourishing in the world.
True. Unfortunately, the media always goes with "If it bleeds, it leads." It's about time to start sharing good things happening instead of always focusing on the bad.
Ummmm, East Idaho News IS the media.
Yes Jesus is alive and still bringing joy to the world 🦋
My mom was a wonderful cook. If, someone passed away or someone was sick. Mom would make sure the family was fed. My mom passed away almost 35 years ago.

you can tell theyre great people because theyre not clearing shelves, they needed to be given extra time because theyre not in a rush to get the most out of it. What a sweet heart
And really taking what they need and use instead of going for the most expensive items. Very cool.
Indeed....these folks are not "takers", but givers. I was smiling all the time.
I was talking to my monitor, ""Take the baking goods so you can make more cookies!" Lol!!
This is one of my favorite episodes! I love that Nate added their favorite candy and the additional on the gift card.
God bless the Secret Santa for all of the people who Santa has helped!
I agree. The grief was so raw. I’m not sure if much is given offline that the viewers never see. If so the families of the young couple should have been given offline. It was so distressing and sad.
Yes may God bless him and his family and the East Idaho team and their families with blessings tenfold
So much fun. She looks like such a seeet lady!
Satan disagrees.
This made me cry!!
These secret Santa's gifts always bring a tear of joy to my eyes and a warm feeling to my heart. Thank you..
That nate guy is so cool. He was literally helping them fill the shopping carts.
I was like wow! Look at him load their carts too! Even at the end, he asked what their favorite candy bars were and put the entire container on the belt!
You guys are awesome!!!. That's what Christmas is all about
This was soooooo much fun to watch! I think Nate had more fun than anyone else!
I agree. Some of these Secret Santa stories are heart breaking. A few months ago Nate was covering the Chad Vallow/Daybell trial (murdered children) so he deserves a little break from the more serious stories.
Yeah, he kept going even after the time was up. He’s so much fun.
Off topic but it’s refreshing that he acknowledges the cameraman ❤
That was totally fun!!! Thanks for the change of pace and for giving to the givers!!!
It’s so fun seeing him load their carts up at the end! So generous, what sweet people!
I love how you “broke” the rules and said to heck with the time limit… and also helped shop… what fun!! Thank you Secret Santa!!! ❤️🎄🎅💚
WHO ELSE L❤VES THESE SHOPPING SPREES?
I usually don't comment, but Twila and her husband were so cute. They were so appreciative and thoughtful, loved all the cookie supplies. Bless them.
I love that they only grabbed a few of each meat they wanted. They were considerate of others and practical in their choices.
I didn't think of that. Thank you for posting 👏💯
How was not grabbing a lot of each item being "considerate of others?" Would others have to do without if they took a lot? The store would just refill the shelves.

I LOVE how Nate jumps in and helps put stuff in their cart. And still when times up, gives her more stuff. 🙂
He’s the BEST Elf. 🎉
Yeaaaah! ❤😄😄😄
This is one of your best! Thanks to Secret Santa.
How humble they where to pick up items so that Ethan needed to help them loading it up and give them an extra minute. I love that kind of attitude.
i like how they helped them grabbed some stuff
What a fun trip. Thank you Nate and Santa.
mY NERVES WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT! 😲😱🤭

Nice of Nate to remember us Aussies , Didnt forget the Tim Tams.
Aren’t they are NZ biscuit 😊
Very very nice thing to do for someone that gives so much of herself to others.
Excellent! Loved Nate just adding and adding to the carts! Thank you Secret Santa for your continued generosity, and kindness! ❤❤❤
That was amazing, and the fact additional items were added by Nate was a bonus. Was great to see the Aussie Tim Tams mentioned. Thank you Secret Santa.
That was a fun one. And everyone helping to grab as much as possible.
Definitely a special place in heaven for secret Santa and Nate for giving deserving people a little surprise
Nate, the Secret Santa is the support here, for the recipients, but YOU are the spirit of this entire project we all need during these holidays!!!
Living in the north east, I came across this channel and truly brings the meaning of Christmas to such people who really need help. Shows the world is still a great place and not just negativity
This is my favorite Secret Santa this year! Warms my heart watching people not expecting such generous gifts receive them. Merry Christmas All!
OMG! This made me so happy I cried. What a deserving and humble couple to receive such a gift. It really is what you put out into the world that comes back to you when don’t expect anything.
I think Nate had more fun than anybody else good job merry Christmas everybody
Glad to see Australia recognised for its Tim Tams

I love it. Three minutes is a loose, very loose guideline. 🙂👍
This was so friggin awesome!! More shopping sprees are needed ❤
Agreed!
May God bless Secret Santa with $2Million for next year!!!
Outstanding! That was fun! Congratulations! Thank you Secret Santa! ❤🎉🙌
I was expecting this year Secret Santa to gift 1.1 m us$ at least. At the same time selection of recipients is excellent. Good research.
Wow! The shopping trip was a wonderful idea! All in three minutes!!
I love when nice people are treated with amazing kindness.
The shopping sprees are like a dream for me ..this was so warm and fun so nice 🙂 thank you secret Santa
Kudos to the check-out clerk!
Wow!! What fun!! What a great grocery store; the check-out lady was really sweet in her holiday clothes!!
This brings so much joy, and leaves me in happy tears!!!
What a beautiful blessing! Thank you Jesus!
Gotta love the Tim tams and the whole crew and especially the secret Santa 💯👌🏽🇦🇺
Such a great surprise for a deserving lady. Props to Nate for being a Tim Tam man!
It’s so beautiful what Secret Santa does for so many people in Idaho. A true blessing for all! ❤️

Fellow Aussie here mate… You’re 100% right about the Tim Tams.. They are a “gift from the gods” ☝️😁🍫🍫🍫
Lol as a kiwi the Tim Tams got me I was surprised to see it. Wonder if they have all the flavors
@@Jamison1888 … I love the originals myself but am partial to mint & caramel flavoured Tim Tams ✌️😋🍫

What a happy story/gift! I'm so happy for Twila and her family!
Their faces when Nate added the whole box of chocolates!
That video was so much fun! Makes me happy that she does so much for her community.
Use of the new oven and a lot of the baking supplies will be used to make money for local charities! What a family!
Nate is the best elf ever!!!! You rock.
I'm saying it again, I love Secret Santa!
Love Nate helping
this couple is so lovingly genuine folks; so happy that they got nominated 😊
