'Tis the season of giving with Jeff & Aimee in the Morning!

They're giving a Hats Off to an anonymous Santa in Bristol, Tennessee, who paid off almost $65K in layaway lists, according to WJHL.

"And she said ‘honey, your layaway is paid in full and he said Merry Christmas and he loves you,'” said Walmart shopper April Hilliard, in a statement. “The emotional type that I am, I just broke. I just started crying.”

The anonymous donor wanted to help as many people as possible and his generosity didn't go unnoticed.

"That restores my faith," Hilliard said. "It’s like a Christmas miracle. He’s Santa, that’s what he is. He’s a Santa to everyone here."
