While Christmas has come and gone, it’s never too late to illuminate some holiday good doings. And that’s exactly what Post Malone did this past Christmas Eve, when he made bartender Renee Brown's night with a $20,000 tip.

Unable to contain her excitement, and rightfully so, Brown, who works at The Railyard in Houston, Texas, shared the experience on social media alongside a couple of pics of her and Posty side-by-side.
“Going into work Christmas Eve I was so sad I had to leave baby girl to go to work,” Renee Brown captioned her post. “Oblivious that god would send me a Christmas miracle. This is hands down the most humble personable celebrity I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He changed my life on Christmas f***ing Eve and I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much Austin 🙌”
The 36-year-old single mother also went on to speak more about the experience with Music Mayhem, explaining that she had to leave her 9-year-old daughter, Iliana, at home on Christmas Eve for the “first time.”
Brown also noted that after Posty arrived with some friends, including Shaboozey, she “told all my regulars not to be weird and bug him as it’s a neighborhood dive bar, and I’m sure he picked a place like that to feel a sense of normalcy.”
“It was amazing to see everyone so happy and seeing how kind he was to all the people that spend their days with me on the regular,” she also recalled.
When it was time for Post to head out, he found out his check was taken care of, however he insisted that Brown charge him a small amount so he could leave a tip. “He asked me to ring him up for a penny or anything," Brown recalled, "so I did. I continued my close and collected all my checks and started to enter my tips. Then I got to his. It was a tip for 20,000 dollars.”
Sharing how she plans to use the money given to her by the "Sunflower" singer, Brown, who works two jobs and homeschools her daughter, expressed, “This put me in a position to at least be able to get a way back and forth to work and pay up on rent and save a bit. I’m trying to save up to start a business, so I don’t have to continue working two jobs and be able to spend more time with my daughter," she said.
"Things have been extremely difficult, and this was truly a blessing that I can’t fully put into words," Brown concluded. “The visit alone was absolutely amazing and something I could talk about and remember for the rest of my life.”
