For anyone who needs to be reminded of the magic of Christmas, this video will not only do that but it will also probably reduce you to tears.

 

As part of an experiment, a group of children from Metro, Atlanta – 83% of whom come from low-income families – were asked what their dream present was, as well as that of their parents.

 

Their own dream gifts included everything from laptops to Xboxes, while those of their parents ranged from jewellery to new TVs.

 

The kids were then presented with both choices of gift, but there was a catch – they could only walk away with one present, and they had to choose between giving or receiving.

 

As you can imagine, it was a tough choice to make, and the kids’ faces say it all – they are well and truly stuck! However, when the time comes to make their decision, each child comes to the same conclusion – they want to go with the gift for their family.

 

When asked why they are opting for a gift for their family, the children get visibly emotional. “Your family matters…not toys – family,” says one child, fighting away tears, while others reflect on all that their parents have done for them.

 

In the end, their selfless choices earn them a very special treat - and don't they deserve it?!

 

This is a real tearjerker; check it out below.
