“Many had a difficult year” — Secret Santa gives gifts to hundreds of fellow citizens — today — 20–1

Hun­dreds of peo­ple in Edmon­ton, Cana­da expe­ri­ence a spe­cial Christ­mas Eve: an anony­mous bene­fac­tor has left let­ters in front of their front doors. In addi­tion to warm words, they also con­tain gen­er­ous gifts. A mys­te­ri­ous anony­mous San­ta Claus sur­prised hun­dreds of his fel­low men in Cana­da with gen­er­ous gifts of mon­ey and poems. “When I woke up this morn­ing I found a very large gift card on my doorstep. Appar­ent­ly my entire neigh­bor­hood got one too,” wrote Leigh-Ann Mac­Naughton of Edmon­ton on her Face­book page about a pho­to that was a poem about hope and sol­i­dar­i­ty showed, “I had to cry all morn­ing.” Accord­ing to reports in the local media, around 400 res­i­dents of the city received envelopes with a shop­ping vouch­er worth 250 Cana­di­an dol­lars (160 euros) on Christ­mas Eve. Elisha Ten­nant, who lost her job in the wake of the coro­na pan­dem­ic, told the broad­cast­er CBC that she too had tears because of the gen­er­ous gift. “It is so heart­warm­ing and touch­ing that some­one should do this,” she said. “For us that means the pur­chas­es for a month.” Recip­i­ents who do not need the vouch­er asked the Secret San­ta to pass the vouch­er on as a “baton of hope”.

CBC con­tact­ed the sender of the gifts by email. “I did this because I know a lot of peo­ple have had a real­ly dif­fi­cult year and because I could afford to help out,” replied the anony­mous bene­fac­tor. “I hope the gifts made peo­ple feel that the world is good and that there is a bet­ter future not too far away.”
