Mysterious 'Big Guy With a Beard' Does Something Remarkable at Toys 'R' Us

The man said he hoped news of his good deed would inspire others to give during this holiday season.

Was it....Santa?

Well, if it wasn't, it sure sounds like he bore a resemblance.

According to NBC Washington, a "big guy with a beard" paid off thousands of dollars worth of layaway plans at a nearby Sterling Toys 'R' Us store Tuesday.

The mysterious gift-giver told NBC about his gift, which the store manager confirmed, but asked to remain anonymous. According to NBC, he merely hoped news of his act might inspire others to give during this holiday season.
