The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Twyla is a very creative and compassionate person who is committed to building community wherever she goes. She teaches art classes to students of all ages -- from preschoolers to retirees -- and volunteers for many organizations. She is genuine and generous.
Nine years ago, Twyla started a holiday tradition with her three young sons called "Cocoa for a Cause." They sell hot chocolate and homemade treats to raise money for others in need. Many individuals and charitable organizations have benefited from their generosity, such as The Family Crisis Center, International Rescue Committee and several food pantries.
Twyla is a wonderful cook and shares her talents with everyone. Unfortunately, after baking thousands of goodies, her overworked oven died a few days ago. After all of that baking, maybe it just finally gave up. But Twyla didn't give up. In order to continue the tradition of giving, she's resorted to using other people's ovens.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise Twyla and there was a twist! Check out the video in the player above.

After the heartbreaking but lovely gift this morning to the families of the young lovers that past away, this was a more uplifting vid. We cant have a baker without a working oven.

I love how you’re running behind her grabbing the oils and what nots, Nate. You’re so helpful and caring.❤

Watching Secret Santa is like getting a Christmas present every day.

I’m currently sick with a virus, and I cannot tell you how much joy this video has given me! Thank you Secret Santa, Nate, and all the crew!

Props to the service staff on this one.

you can tell theyre great people because theyre not clearing shelves, they needed to be given extra time because theyre not in a rush to get the most out of it. What a sweet heart

In spite of what the media would have us believe - goodness is alive and flourishing in the world.

God bless the Secret Santa for all of the people who Santa has helped!

I LOVE how Nate jumps in and helps put stuff in their cart. And still when times up, gives her more stuff. 🙂
-
Can you imagine being lucky enough to have a job where you are paid to bring joy and happiness to others? Nate (and his team) are very fortunate.

That nate guy is so cool. He was literally helping them fill the shopping carts.

I was laughing as I watched Nate filling in her cart. This was such a joyful and fun Secret Santa Surprise.

Lol the timer is over and Nate doesn't care 😂 He's like "Is there anything else you need? Here, get the big one. Here put this in the cart too." He's so kind lol

I love how you “broke” the rules and said to heck with the time limit… and also helped shop… what fun!! Thank you Secret Santa!!! ❤️🎄🎅💚

How humble they where to pick up items so that Ethan needed to help them loading it up and give them an extra minute. I love that kind of attitude.
-
I usually don't comment, but Twila and her husband were so cute. They were so appreciative and thoughtful, loved all the cookie supplies. Bless them.
-
This was soooooo much fun to watch! I think Nate had more fun than anyone else!

What a fun trip. Thank you Nate and Santa.

Nate, the Secret Santa is the support here, for the recipients, but YOU are the spirit of this entire project we all need during these holidays!!!

That was a fun one. And everyone helping to grab as much as possible.
