Merry mortgage!

Before we get to a week of endless lists and the rehash of news of 2014, let’s pause for one more Christmas moment before we move along.

Joseph Riquelme has one more gift for his mom and dad in this envelope. It’s about $200,000 to pay off their mortgage.

CBS says the kid is a “tech entrepreneur.”

The video was spread by Reddit on a thread that has broken out with Redditors lamenting the relationships they have with their fathers.
