This Woman Got A Secret Christmas Gift From Bill Gates
JAKARTA - Christmas celebrations may have passed. However, the story of Santa Claus or Santa Claus handing out Christmas gifts will still be remembered every year.
This time, a user of the forum site Reddit, Shelby received a surprise Christmas gift package from 'Secret Santa'. The figure of the secret Santa is none other than Bill Gates, a billionaire and founder of Microsoft.
Bill Gates has always regularly participated in the 'Secret Santa' program on the RedditGifts online forum. This year, Bill Gates sent a Christmas gift that weighed almost 81 pounds, or about 36.7 kg.
The contents of this Christmas package from Bill Gates are in the form of a witch-themed Christmas hat, Lego Horwarts school of magic for Shelby who is a Potterhead aka Harry Potter fan. Bill Gates also shipped a jacket from LL Bean, a handmade blanket depicting Nintendo's Legend of Zelda game series, and Twin Peaks memorabilia.
Not to forget, Bill Gates also sent a Christmas greeting card in the form of Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby manuscript. Gates wrote and signed the card himself, complete with a photo of himself writing the message.
"I really did not expect to get a Christmas gift from Bill Gates. I know that he participated in this program, but still I do not think he will be my Secret Saint," said Shelby as quoted by Techcrunch.
Shelby said this would be the most memorable Christmas present ever received after her mother died. Shelby will also donate part of her Christmas gift to the American Heart Association, an NGO that helps patients with heart and cardiovascular disease.
He also shared his joy in both posting on the RedditGifts forum and also uploading two videos to YouTube, showing off the signed note from Bill Gates.
Since several years ago, the founder of Microsoft has really liked his role as Secret Santa. Last year, Bill Gates even sent a cow doll and a National Geographic book entitled "Journey of a Lifetime" to one of the RedditGifts forum users.
Meanwhile in 2017, he sent many gifts to a cat lover, including a big cat cartoon doll and $ 750 to donate to the pet charity of the Reddit user.
