One of the Secret Santas virtues is that they would rather lose every dime than their sense of humor.

As seen below, the Secret Santas hold true to an honorable set of guidelines laid out in their website. The original Secret Santa gave over a million dollars over his lifetime, and hopefully that will one day be surpassed by this new wave of good samaritans, beating back the humbug one gift at a time.

Here are their virtues:

* Compassion: Through random acts of kindness, they tap into the human spirit and try to create in the recipient hope and a belief that they are worthy of unconditional love.

* Humor: They would rather lose every dime they ever made than lose their sense of humor.

* Friendship: They value their association with people of like mind and character; they are true Christmas Elves.
