| SECRET SANTA IN ACTION |
A
married couple from out of state has visited Detroit, USA for the eighth
straight year playing Father Christmas by giving out so far about $115,000 of
theirs to complete strangers. This year as in the past, they have a Free Press
reporter, a photographer and a Lincoln Park Police escort with them.

| FEMALE SECRET SANTA GETS A HUG IN APPRECIATION |
They
give out the money in hundred dollars each and they say though not rich, they
are just well to do and they give out their money to whom they like and how
they want. After all its theirs. They give out the money and follow this up
with statements like "Merry Christmas" and "Pay it forward"
and "Bless you." You get different reactions from those who receive these
gifts, smiles, tears, hugs and statements of appreciation.
The
couple who want to remain anonymous says their aim is to assist those in need
and share love which they believe can help to overcome hatred and evil. Their
giving out is following an example set by Larry Stewart, who over forty years
ago used to hand out cash during Christmas to people in Kansas City, Mo. He
gave away anonymously and was called Secret Santa. People only got to know of
his giving out only after his death in 2007.
They
couple have been in the Lincoln Park thrift shops, a White Castle, the Park Restaurant.
They have given to the handicap, indigent families, the sick and even handed
out some of their money to others to help give out to those they think deserved
it.
The
secret Santa couple has been all over Detroit spreading love and money and even
after all the tears, screams, loud laughter, hugs and promises to spread good
cheer filled the day, they feel good about it all adding though "We can't
tell anybody else about it, but throughout the holiday season, we'll talk about
it every day."
Can
we have this love spread all over the world, Merry Christmas everyone.
