A man walked into a New Jersey Toys “R” Us and did a little more than the usual holiday shopping.

The man, identified as Charlie K. by NJ.com, paid off two layaway orders worth $10,780.

“Just, you know, trying to bring some happiness to people. That’s really it. Help bring back to the community that brought so much happiness to me and my family,” Charlie K. told NBC affiliate KCBD.

While the surprise payment did not cover all layaway orders, Charlie K. also bought about $2,000 worth of additional toys to donate to the Toys for Tots charity, NJ.com reported. He told a Philadelphia CBS affiliate that he was looking to fulfill “kids’ Christmas wishes.”

1. Giving. That's what it is all about.

What a great person!

2. Two layaway orders were worth $10,780?

OMG, I can't imagine spending that kind of money on Christmas, let alone putting it on layaway.

But good on the gentleman who paid for Christmas for others.

3. Two high priced layaway bills?

Sorry, but I really wonder if the two were relatives. Something seems a bit contrived here.

I do, however, commend him on the $2k for Toys for Tots.
