They Thought It Was A Normal Video Chat With Their Mom But They Are About To Get A Big Surprise!
Thanksgiving is the fall holiday that is universally celebrated in the United States and Canada. Although it’s historic roots lay in North America, as a celebration of the harvest, it has come to represent all that is good in family life. Native Americans and the Pilgrim settlers were happy to have food at harvest time.
The modern version of Thanksgiving usually involves a turkey feast with all the trimmings. The food is something we all look forward to, but for those of us who are fortunate, we get to gather with those with love. There is a warmth to the celebration, particularly if we are in touch with what we are grateful for.
Holidays can be a lonely time, for people who don’t have loved ones to share it with. Many Americans have moved to the United States from countries that are across the world. Luckily, today we have the ability to see each other through the internet, which gives families a more intimate way of communicating when they rarely get to actually be together. However, there is no substitute for actual contact.
What you are about to watch in this joyous footage, was devised by Shaw, a Canadian internet and telecommunications provider. They went to great lengths to unite families who miss each other so much, and basically only see each other by Skyping. Watch to see the orchestration of their incredibly clever surprise gift, bestowed on several families for this Thanksgiving season.
It will bring a big smile to your face and a tear to your eye.
