Damn you, WestJet! You've done it again.
Last year, Canadian airline WestJet asked passengers what they wanted from Santa before their flights. And then during those same flights, employees and helpers rushed out to make those Christmas wishes come true. The video was a real tearjerker, and it made everyone believe in the holiday spirit again, which was desperately needed after a long weekend of people bludgeoning each other over discounted TVs.
Well, this year, WestJet just upped their charity game and left us in tears yet again. And it all took place in a small town in the Dominican Republic called Nuevo Renacer that was in desperate need of some human kindness.
Families sat in a blue Santa sleigh and told the jolly big guy what they wanted, like a washing machine, dolls, skateboards, a horse for a broken carriage and a new motor for a taxi bike. And then WestJet helpers went to work.
Not only did everyone get what they wanted from Santa (including a horse!), but WestJet built the town a winter wonderland so the kids could have their first snowball fight. And because they shopped for the presents locally, they brought money into the town's economy.
Watch the videos above and come join us as an airline makes us cry yet again. And this time, it's not due to the fact that we were stuck on a six-hour flight next to a giant man who thinks wearing deodorant is a sin.
