10 REAL LIFE SANTA CLAUSES THAT BROUGHT CHEER AND JOY!!

We know it’s really Christmas time when we see images of a jolly old man in his signature red cap and suit everywhere.

Let’s get to know and appreciate the people who, in true Santa Claus fashion, brought real joy and happiness to others—without expecting anything in return.  10 The Secret Santa Of Kansas For more than a quarter of a century, residents of Kansas City were baffled by the generosity of a secret Santa.
