It's not just us feeling the love, either. This video was posted to TikTok on December 25 by user amyg410, listed on the page as Amy Green. It's her first TikTok video and in just three days it's received over 8 million views. The video was also picked up by the Twitter account Pubity, which is where Ford CEO Jim Farley saw it and retweeted it. Talk about going viral!

The video begins with the man reaching into a Christmas stocking, finding a key. That's when the excitement level goes up a notch (including some minor profanity so be advised), culminating in a frantic sprint outside and a literal jump for joy upon seeing a 2009 Ford Mustang GT 45th Anniversary model sitting in the driveway. Folks, we aren't sure if there's ever been a better moment capturing an adult fully embracing the innocent child within. That alone makes us smile.

Here's where it gets better. Amy Green posted a second video (above) to TikTok that explained how she went about hiding the car, including significant help from her daughter and neighbors. More importantly, she also explained why this gift was so special, detailing how her husband had often sacrificed his own wishes during the holidays, sometimes working two or three jobs to make sure their daughter had an amazing Christmas.

Not to be a buzz kill but hopefully he didn’t also get the $1000/month payment as a gift too? (Or whatever it may be). Giving, or receiving, a gift with an o going commitment needs to be VERY carefully thought through).

I have to say, RichieRich concerned about monthly payments made me laugh.

The best is how he's like "that one over there!?"
Yes, the random Mustang on your driveway with a giant bow on it. Did you never consider something was going on there?

Try and notice the changes in the room over time. Then look at the first and last frame shots and tell your brain how disappointed you are in it.

If our ancestors were hunted by shapeshifters our brains would have evolved to notice these changes better. I think they do a fine job keeping us alive, for most of us anyway.

That is one of the cooler videos I've ever seen in this thread. Love how there's a ship every few feet in the 80-200ft range and then suddenly so far apart when it starts getting deeper.

21000 feet is hard to even fathom.
