CBS News: Secret Santas

TweetThis
As part of my 2009 resolutions, I plan on trying to intersperse some uplifting stories in between the unfortunate economic gloom and doom. So if you start seeing videos of baby pandas in the future, don't be alarmed - you are still in the right place. Consider this my mission of "balance" - 98% gloom/2% panda. ;)

Below is an uplifting story of a Secret Santa in Kansas City, Missouri. The reactions by the people he is helping are both, heart breaking and warming. Tough times out there but even with Secret Santa's stock portfolio down 44% (seriously) he has increased his giving. Awesome.

He has a great quote - "In our country, we have a lot of people who make $8-$10 an hour, and they live in a $12-$14 hour world."

3 minute video.
