Just because it’s December 27th doesn’t mean the Christmas cheer has disappeared for another 363 days! I mean, how can you not feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you look at Twitter photos of all the kids who got guns<\/a> for Christmas? So sweet. But you know what’s even better than watching the eventual destruction of society unfold ‘neath the douglas fir? Watching this video of Joe Riquelme<\/strong>, an app developer, present his parents with no more mortgage payments ever, because he paid it off for them.<\/p>\n

WARNING: watching this video will definitely result in a speck of dust nestling itself directly in your eye holes, so if you need to wipe it away it’s okay. No judgement.<\/p>\n

According to Joe’s Facebook page,<\/a> the envelope contained\u00a0documents from Bank of America accompanied by a handwritten note that reads: ‘Your house is paid off. Merry Xmas. – Joe.’\u00a0I know, I know. It’s way too early to be chopping onions like this. But I couldn’t help it; I had to share. Is it just me, or do crying dads have a serious effect on you too? Whew, that was rough. And by “rough”, I mean so awesome I need a tissue. Or three.<\/p>\n

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be off somewhere simmering in inadequacy and regretting the Joe’s Crab Shack gift card I gave my parents for Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
