This Santa is Real - But Very Secret
Edited on Sun Dec-16-07 11:27 AM by Akoto
Secret Santa, who wishes to remain secret, will only say that he is a businessman from Kansas City. His plan is to cross the country - going into dozens of thrift stores, laundromats and bus stations, and going up to hundreds of strangers who seem like they could use a Franklin or two.

“I’d like to give you this: $200,” Santa says.

-- snip --

Secret Santa says that joy, that tremendous return on investment - is part of the reason he’s doing this. But here’s the bigger reason: Larry Stewart.

Stewart was the original Secret Santa. He kept his identity hidden for 25 years, while giving out more than a million dollars.

It's a feel good story, but this one actually made me feel good. :)
