Grab the tissues folks, this one’s a real tear jerker.

For four hours Wednesday, a mystery Santa and his elves cruised through Phoenix, anonymously doling out crisp $100 bills to those who needed a lift. Santa wanted to be known only as a 61-year-old businessman from Kansas City, Mo., but his “sleigh ride” is part of a tradition started by another Secret Santa 27 years ago.

“It’s spontaneous and it’s unexpected,” Santa said.

“All we’re doing is making (their life) better for one day.”

All Santa asked in return is that recipients do something nice for someone else during the holidays.

As we rush around looking for the perfect gift this Christmas, it’s nice to be reminded Christmas isn’t about ’stuff’, it’s about being kind and loving to our fellow man. Whether it’s $100 bills handed out at random, the loose change in your pocket finding it’s way into a red kettle, or simply saying ‘Please’and Thank You’ with a little patience to overworked store clerks, every little bit counts.
