'Santa' Showers $100 Bills On Storm-Hit NJ, NY

A wealthy Missouri man posing as "Secret Santa" stunned New Yorkers on Thursday, handing $100 bills to many in Staten Island who had lost everything to Superstorm Sandy.

The Kansas City businessman is giving away $100,000 this holiday season, and spent the day in New Jersey and New York giving away thousands. But he says money is not the issue.

"The money is not the point at all," said the anonymous benefactor as he walked up to surprised Staten Island residents and thrust crisp bills into their hands. "It's about the random acts of kindness. I'm just setting an example, and if 10 percent of the people who see me emulate what I'm doing, anybody can be a Secret Santa!"

Yeah, so I need to go out and give out the last 37 pennies that I own? Okay, they won't buy anything anyway.

You are missing the point completely. It's not about giving away money, a random act of kindness could be just lending someone a hand that dropped all of their groceries. Which you would probably do on your own without me reminding you. Peace
