Family Surprises Young Cousin With The Greatest Christmas Gift He Could Receive—And It's A Tearjerker 😭❤️
Twitter Ethan Kirby- Twitter J

A heartwarming story about a young boy getting the greatest gift for Christmas is going viral on Twitter. What is this gift? A family.


In the video, posted by Twitter user Ethan Kirby, a young boy named Carter opens his last present and gets the best news he could have hoped for: His aunt, uncle and cousins offer him a permanent home with their family.

Carter's reaction as he reads the note has us all choked up and remembering what the holiday spirit is really about.

Take a look for yourself and have tissues nearby.

After the video went viral, Carter's aunt, Leah Kiphart, told ABC6:

"The adoption process for an outside family was starting and that was a really, really hard thing for us to accept, and know that this might have been the last time that we were ever going to see Carter,. [We] felt that it was really important for us to keep him in the family."

"A lot of people talk about how lucky he is. We are just as fortunate to have him join our family. He is a good, good kid."

Carter couldn't be happier. He said of his newfound Twitter fame:

"It feels awesome. It made me feel good that other people can enjoy...like my happiness and my family's happiness."

And many people couldn't be happier for the entire family.











And, of course, the dad jokes have begun.

And the happy, happy tears!



We wish the entire family many more happy holidays together!

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
