This is the lovely moment two kids open a surprise Christmas present to discover their dad, a Royal Naval engineer, has come home from sea early for Christmas.
Mum Ruth Stevens, 30, from Plymouth, posted the heartwarming clip on her Facebook page earlier this week with the message: ‘Elf brought daddy home early for Xmas’.
The video, which has now been viewed over three million times, shows little Alfie and Lily coming down the stairs in their PJs to discover a giant Christmas present in the living room.
