Boy Wanted One Christmas Present And When He Unwraps It, His Emotional Reaction Says Everything

One of the things that children do around the world every holiday season is to write a letter to Santa. It often includes a list of the things that they want and the popular items tend to change from one year to the next. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the fact the children look forward to opening those gifts on Christmas morning. Some children will also sit on Santa’s lap and tell them what they want for Christmas directly. They will often ask for physical items that can be found at local stores or online and in some cases, they try to make it reasonable so that it is affordable.

If the world were perfect in those children’s eyes, we would all gather around on Christmas morning and open presents that were exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, many families are not able to gather together because they are separated by many miles. That is the case with military families and they often feel the strain of being far apart from their loved ones when they are deployed on active duty.

Xander is one little boy who knew exactly what he wanted for Christmas. It wasn’t something that could be picked up at a store or purchased online, however, it was a special gift that he had in his heart. Xander’s aunt, Jadin Hart posted something on Twitter on December 14 and it went viral. The caption reads: “My nephew got to unwrap the only Christmas gift he asked for a few days early and his reaction broke my heart.”

Although you only see Xander in the video, you can tell that there are a lot of people present because of the noise in the background. It seems as if family members have gathered to find out what Xander is able to open early.

The box is so big that it can’t even fit underneath the tree. It is even covering most of the tree in the video. You can tell that Xander is excited to be able to open the present early but he is taking his time doing it. He may be nervous or perhaps he is trying to guess what is inside.

When he finally takes the paper off and looks inside, he finds the best present he could ever hope for waiting for him. His reaction is going to bring you to tears so you may want to have some tissues ready:

This video is so touching that it has been watched well over 6.5 million times and has over 7000 comments. I’m sure that it touched you when you saw what was waiting inside of the box as well.
