    Secret Santa, I wonder if you realize how many people you are impacting that merely watch these videos. I view one each night this time of year before going to bed. It erases any negativity from the day and is a beautiful reminder of the love and kindness we want and need in this world.

    This man that had his leg broken and burnt is my sister-in-law's dad. Me and my family have known if him decades and all he has ever done is help others. That is what he was doing when the gas tank exploded. I'm very happy that others are returning the favor.

    What a beautiful family. The way dad just instinctively signed "Thank You" as he said it, really touched me. I think I am going to adopt that practice, as I've been learning ASL in my spare time.

    This was my favorite one. Nate is the luckiest. Dallas' message at the end when he mentioned how his children and grandchildren would never forget...that says it all. Our future needs this.

    What a beautiful family. They are all so sweet. How amazing he knew what to do to save his leg and life. I am praying this is the last surgery and the Dad heals great. Plus I am praying for the Son to heal quickly. Kind of sad to come home 3 weeks early but it sounds like he served honorably. I loved getting to know this family. I love how the Dad started tearing up about the car. He did try not to. LOL. Merry Christmas and love to the East Idaho News team.
