Things like this are neat because they remind folks that tech titans, billionaires, celebrities, and the like are, at the end of the day, people too -- not that dissimilar from everyone else. It's so easy to forget that.

That&#x27;s a fun gift. I used to get solicitations from Heifer international years ago, and the sad thing is that they advertise themselves such that if you donate 50 dollars, a family will get a flock of chickens; if you donate 100 dollars, a family will get a baby goat. Etc, etc. But all the money goes into a common fund.<p>I know charities have to use modern marketing, but that left a sour taste when I found out about it. On the other hand, I suppose Bill&#x27;s underlings conduct proper due diligence.

The last line is so funny:<p>&gt; <i>ps: Sorry for the apple ipad on my wishlist, that was really awkward.</i>

I wonder if there is a generational difference between people, say, 30+ and the under 30&#x27;s of their view of Bill Gates?<p>For people my age he was &quot;evil&quot; personified during the Netscape&#x2F;IE&#x2F;Anti-Trust era. I wonder if people who came of age after that period see him more as a global good guy and philanthropist?<p>As for me, if he keeps this up I&#x27;m going to have to start liking the guy :-)

Someone in the reddit thread asked a good question, what would you give to Bill Gates if you are his Secret Santa?

What a great guy Bill Gates turned out to be and he didn&#x27;t do it only on his deathbed like some billionaires.

Bill gets it from his mother. I only met her once, yet she fell all over herself to be gracious, try to do me favors, etc.

Bill Gates: when you reach your first billion dollar, you are back to cheese burger.<p>Point. He is just being what everyone else us are here. a normal human being.

I love Reddit Secret Santa for the comedy value. So far I&#x27;ve seen this year people have been given:<p>1. A pig foetus preserved in alcohol.<p>2. A selection of root vegetables, petroleum jelly and gloves.

How celebrities behave on reddit seems to be a good indication of how they actually are in real life.

The thing I was most impressed with is Bills ability to write a cursive capital G.

After a gushing review of how great Bill was and what a wonderful experience. <i>&quot;...ps: Sorry for the apple ipad on my wishlist, that was really awkward...&quot;</i><p>This was a great article, and a reminder that the internet allows us to make a difference in people&#x27;s lives in ways we never could before.

Now, I wonder what Bill received. Bill should make a similar post about his gift, would be cool.

Reddit Secret Santa is definitely a very cool project. Kudos to Bill and all the others for participating. Though as other people have mentioned Heifer spends quite a bit of money on advertising, like most other charities I suppose. My roommate donated $10 about a year or 2 ago for a contest and every other week we receive letters, magazines, and photos asking for more money (way more than $10 worth of material). It would be sweet to see a charity spend their money on the actual cause rather than just promotional material.

Great story with a fun typo - &quot;Exactly just what kind of charity is <i>Heifner</i> International?&quot;

I think this is really cool, though the cynical part of me thinks that so will the social media strategists of quite a few celebrities out there, looking to promote things around Christmas...
