<p>I promise this will brighten your day. As someone else observed, a company can spend millions on one SuperBowl spot that may or may not sell anything. OR, they could do THIS!</p>

<p>Liked that way better than Super Bowl commercials. If it was a wounded warrior flight, it would be even more awesome!</p>
<p>Agree, HImom. I am curious how they chose the flights to do this on. But it’s really great, regardless.</p>
<p>Great video. Thanks for sharing, churchmusicmom.</p>
<p>Was wondering what this was. It’s been popping up on my FB newsfeed all day!</p>
<p>Wow, what fun … both for the passengers and for the employees who get to play Santa.</p>
<p>This is amazing!</p>
<p>Santa DOES exist. </p>
<p>(I’m not kidding. He does exist. No one can tell me otherwise.)</p>
<p>This just adds to the Christmas spirit! Merry Christmas everyone!</p>
<p>Didn’t anybody else feel sorry for the guy that got socks and underwear when the family got their large screen tv?</p>
<p>Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>And,
</p>
<p>I absolutely agree!</p>
<p>Did this happen for real? It wasn’t just actors and made for tv? Seems people would have noticed cameras everywhere otherwise.</p>
<p>Did you see the bloopers video? One woman asked for warm socks, and Santa said, “You’re going to wish you’d asked for a large screen TV!”</p>
<p>Why am I all choked up now?</p>
<p>It DID really happen!! :)</p>
<p>And the cool thing is every single person can do a small version of this…just spread the joy by doing some random act of kindness. It does not have to be so grand……but this is pretty awesome.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, it was real! I know a couple who were on one of the flights that was chosen. :)</p>
<p>WestJet is a great airline. Very popular with travellers and their own employees in Canada.</p>
<p>That is terrific! I was wondering if they really did this! Guess so!!</p>
<p>Personally, I make it a point to go to the “giving tree” at our local shopping mall and adopt several seniors. Often they just ask for a pot and pan or a blanket or a rice cooker. I prefer to adopt them over kids, since kids generally get so many people interested in helping them but SRs not so much. Just bought 5 really soft fuzzy blankets at Ross for some SRs on the giving tree and will be adopting several more SRs after I drop off this batch of blankets.</p>
<p>Saw this featured on NBC national news tonight. They singled out the guy who didn’t take it seriously and asked for underwear and socks and that’s what he got! :)</p>
<p>Should people have wanted to get as much as they could? Underwear and socks is a lovely gift, that many folks are grateful for. Personally, I’d prefer it over a large flatscreen TV that I don’t have space to accommodate. ;)</p>
<p>Personally, my fondest wish is for my loved ones to regain their health. This has been my wish for over a dozen years. I am hopeful it may be granted – getting closer. ;)</p>
<p>I’d take the large flat screen! We’re look for a 50’ at minimum for our house. Santa, where are you??</p>
