Emotional Soldier Homecoming - Soldier Santa Surprises Mom

This soldier dressed up as Santa to surprise his mom by coming home early.

Kim Harris thought she won a poinsettia in a Prairie Heights Schools' staff Christmas breakfast lottery Friday, but instead, said she ended up with the best gift ever.

A Prairie Heights High School math teacher, Harris won a rigged lottery, as Superintendent Alan Middleton drew her name. Because of that, Harris had the chance to sit on Santa's lap in front of all her colleagues. Only, she didn't know who donned the red Santa suit and beard.

Harris sat on Santa's lap and said, "Peace on earth, goodwill to men. I have a long list. My son is safely on U.S. soil from Afghanistan."

At that, Santa removed his beard and it was her son, U.S. Army Spc. Ethan Harris, who came home early from Afghanistan.

My Mom nearly tackled me like a middle linebacker when I came home from Germany for leave just before Desert Storm. Joy and sadness together. She knew I had to go back. And I did get deployed to Desert Storm. She left this world in 2002. There's not a day that I don't miss my Mom. But...
I have my son. He's just as moody and sentimental as she was! She's not really gone!

[Moonflower]

My son served in Desert Storm and when he came home from leave for the first time I got to hold my baby in my arms it was amazing. I never dreamed when I held my son for the first time in my arms that he would have to fight for his life when he was in Desert Storm.

Facts!!! My son is scheduled to leave for boot camp in 2 weeks! I have been binging on these the past months! You’re right! They don’t get old! And they bring me tears of joy, and hope!

[katherineolds]

Thank you so very much for your service and you and your Family’s sacrifices!

[cindyrissal]

This is so sweet! I think in this case, it's ok to lie..and I'm glad he's not afraid to hug his Mom. No matter how old you are, you're still your Mom's kid...
