MISSOULA- It wasn't exactly like Miracle on 34th Street, but it did have a happy ending and some Missoula kids might call it Miracle on Brooks Street. A stranger walked into the Kmart there and guaranteed a Merry Christmas for dozens of local families.
The layaway "attic" at the Missoula Kmart looks a little like Santa's workshop, with gifts for boys and girls of all ages, ready to go. But many of the gifts weren't going anywhere because the would-be owners were late with their payments.
That's when a mysterious Santa entered the store. It also happened earlier this month in Michigan, where a man walked into a local Kmart and anonymously paid off all the items on layaway. Then the same thing happened Tuesday afternoon at the Missoula Kmart.
Layaway department worker Brenda Warren says it all went down Tuesday afternoon.
"He walked in and wanted to pay on some lay-aways and I asked him, 'which ones?' He said some that weren't going to have Christmas and were late on their payment. I'm like, 'really?' [I thought] maybe [he'd] just pay off one or two, but then he ended up paying the whole list, so it was just amazing."
Warren then got to call those customers to tell them they had things waiting for them at the store. She tells us most were excited and some shocked. One man even hung up on her.
But she says the best part was telling a mother, who was in Seattle at the children's hospital with a sick child, that Christmas was waiting for her at home.
"She was so excited and yelling at the nurses about it. It was fun," Warren told us.
The generous stranger ended up shelling out more than $1,000 for presents for people he didn't even know. Maybe that was his Christmas present to himself.
The mystery man said he was visiting from Michigan, where he recently made a similar stop at a Kmart. He said he doesn't have any family, and playing Santa makes his Christmas for him.
