The Anonymous Secret Santa Who Fills Strangers’ Pockets With $100 Bills 

 It’s like finding a dollar in a coat you haven’t touched since last winter — but better. An anonymous, wealthy businessman from Kansas City has been lifting the holiday spirit of strangers for the past 12 years by handing out extra cash to those “who look as though they could use a little boost”. With the help of a dozen local police officers, he hits up a few cities and hands out anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000 each holiday season — all in the form of $100 bills. Mystery Santa said he looks for people who have sadness on their faces so that he can “give them hope that their life can be changed.”

“Our mission as humans is to do random acts of kindness. Kindness is the bridge between all people,” the anonymous businessman told CBS News.

We still don’t know who he is or where he’ll show up this year, but keep your eyes peeled for a surprise visit from the real secret Santa.
