A Christmas mystery: A woman walked into a Toys R Us in Bellingham, Massachusetts, and paid off every single layaway account.
"I have no words. I can't believe someone would do that," customer Diane Brewer told WFXT.
"I wish there were more people in the world like that," customer Jason Wood said.
The woman is reportedly a local, and the Milford Daily News reports employees called her a "bubbly older woman" who said, "If you have it, give it."
The so-called "layaway angel" paid off a total of around $20,000, helping more than 150 people. And the wintry air is also giving others the "give back" bug.
Earlier this month a "secret Santa" paid off $15,000 of layaways at an Ohio Wal-Mart. Dayton Daily News reports the store manager said the man felt he was at a stage in his life to play Santa for some families.
And another man paid off some Wal-Mart layaways this month in Kansas, although the exact amount is unknown.
"Been kind of a rough year, and to know that someone would step in and not even know us and do it ... " said a woman whose layaway was paid off.
'Tis the season of layaway payoff, it seems.
