– According to the AFP news agency on the 26th (local time), on the morning of the 24th on Christmas Eve, in a village in Edmonton in western Canada, about 400 residents found an envelope placed in front of each house.
The envelope, written as sent by’Secret Santa’, contained a Wal-Mart gift card worth 250 Canadian dollars (about 215,000 won). Santa also enclosed a letter stating, “I hope this little gift will give you hope when you open the secret Santa’s envelope.”
In his letter, he emphasized the hope that next year will be a better new year.

– “I woke up in the morning and found an envelope with a large gift card on the stairs,” said villager Lee-Anne McNaughton. “I cried all morning.”
Elisha Tennant, who lost his job due to Corona 19, told CBC Canada, “He felt warm and moved,” and said, “For us, this money is a month’s worth of food.”
CBC succeeded in contacting the secret Santa at the email address on the envelope, but Santa politely replied that he did not want to disclose his identity.
Instead, he humbly told CBC that “a lot of people have had a really difficult year (due to the corona),” and “I decided to do this because I have the means to help them.”
He added, “I want people to feel that the world is still a good place and a bright future is not far away,” he added.
Santa’s touching gift gave birth to another good deed. Christina Ignacio, who received a’surprise gift’, noticed the sentence in the letter, “Please, hand over the baton.”
The CBC reported that the Ignacio families were willing to donate the gift cards they received from Santa to a non-profit foundation that helps the poor.
