First of all, when someone decides to hand out $50,000 to complete strangers on a Sunday afternoon, there is no tax write-off.
Second of all, if you ever get the chance to witness someone handing out thousands of dollars to strangers - you will quickly realize there is something much better at play.
The stunned faces. The questioning glares. The slow grins. The sudden realizations - this is NOT a joke. Then the hollers of happiness. The hugs. The tears.
Check out the photos of those who received a Christmas surprise from Kansas City's latest "Secret Santa."
So... I got a call. Would I want to go along with someone handing out cash for Christmas. To unsuspecting people. - Um ... Yes! So....
