Christmas in one area of Pennsylvania came earlier this year when an anonymous donor paid the layaway bills of 200 families at a Walmart store in Everett.
An unidentified man, referred to as “Santa B” by store employees, paid off the layaway bills for families who couldn’t immediately afford Christmas gifts, Walmart workers told WJAC.
“Santa B” reportedly paid more than $40,000 in bills to the Walmart location — to give struggling families an easier holiday season.

“In this area you don’t hear a lot, I mean you hear small things where somebody pays somebody’s grocery bill or things like that, but this was pretty big,” employee Barbara Karns told the news station.

And while the gifts are for her children, Martin said Santa B’s Christmas spirit “means more to her.”
“I think it means more to me, but I think they’ll be happy. I remember when I was growing up for Christmas. I was just telling my mom the other day that I want my kids to have Christmas like that,” Martin said.
