It's the most wonderful time of the year, especially for Reddit user calid7. The 25-year-old participated in Reddit's sixth annual secret Santa, which brings together thousands of people from over 100 countries for the world's biggest gift exchange. And lucky for her, her Kris Kringle was none other than Bill Gates:
"I can not believe it. I am literally shaking right now I AM IN SHOCK (someone get me a blanket!).
"The amazing human being Bill Gates sent me a Loki Helmet which i have been dying to own ever since the first Thor movie came out!! He read my "pie in the sky wish" that i filled out in my questionnaire and fulfilled it! I also got an amazing coffee table book of gorgeous pictures of Africa (somewhere i desperately want to go, its on my bucket list!) with an inscription and a Giant microbes polio virus stuffed animal!"
Of course, there was a charitable component to the gift too. She explained, "The most important part is, He also made a donation in my name to Shot@Life a great program that provides vaccines for kids in poor countries which is SO amazing and i can't even begin to describe how incredible it makes me feel knowing that he made this donation in my name!" Last year, the Microsoft founder did a similar thing, gifting a redditor with a stuffed cow and a donation to Heifer International in her name.
