There is a reason I have been handing out presents at the Hollenbeck Center in Boyle Heights for over 30 years. When I first came to America, my friends at Gold’s Gym were so generous. They brought me in during Christmas time and made me feel so happy and included. I love being able to give back and see the smile on the kids’ faces when they get their gifts. Merry Christmas to all!

This annual gesture is not just about gifts; it’s a deeply personal homage to Schwarzenegger’s own experiences as an immigrant, cherishing the warmth and inclusion he felt during his first Christmas in America. His commitment to spreading joy and kindness to children each year is a poignant reminder of the power of generosity and the enduring impact of simple acts of kindness. Schwarzenegger’s legacy, therefore, is not only etched in his cinematic and political achievements but also in the smiles he brings to countless faces every holiday season.
