Student loan mysteriously paid off?

I recently went on my student loan website and realized that it's mysteriously paid off on 12/8/11. I'm the only one who knows my account information and very few people even know I have student loans. I researched the web extensively on student loan forgiveness and I definitely don't fit ANY of them by any stretch of the imagination. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I have come across is that my FIRST student loan disbursement was on 12/7/01, so 12/8/11 marks a 10 year anniversary. The website gives absolutely no information on how it was paid off, or why. Under "payer", it says "other", nothing else. I've also examined my portfolio to make sure I didn't pay it off myself under a drunken stupor, but nope, nothing there either. Maybe this is just a Christmas present from the government?
ETA: My loan was in good standing and on automatic payment. They automatically take out of my checking account every month on the 28th. I'm anxious to see if they will this month.

I called the number in the letter and asked for the payoff amount and just sent a check to pay it off. I never let her know I paid it off but she would have gotten a statement saying it was paid along with the original paperwork marked paid.
I wonder if she will ever mention it?

But with the Lay-away Plans for KMart, people specifically are going in and asking who is in arrears that holds toys, and items such as this - and are paying the accounts off - and KMart is calling the people to tell them their Lay-away Plan has been paid off - and to come pickup their items - and whomever the good Samaritans are - are nameless - I think this began in Michigan - and has now spread across the USA - but funny thing - WalMart does not seem to be included - as KMart has always had a Lay-Away Plan - and WalMart did not always have one.
So possibly someone paid your Student Loan off as a goodwill gesture for Christmas like the above
