Little Girl Asks Santa to Bring Her Dad Home From the Military For Christmas, So He Works His Magic

Every little kid knows that when you sit on Santa's lap to tell him what you want for Christmas, it's a pretty solid guarantee that when you wake up on Christmas morning, the big man will have delivered. However, one little girl found out that sometimes, if it's really important, Santa can make your Christmas wish come true right then and there.

Jordan Baskerville may want toys and dolls and games for Christmas this year, but when she sat on Santa's lap at a mall in Clarksville, TN, this past weekend, she only asked for her dad, Trent Baskerville, a Fort Campbell solider, to come home for the holidays. Rather than have her wait until Christmas morning, Santa felt that this particular wish deserved immediate attention, so he asked Jordan, her mom, and her little sister to close their eyes.

Watch the video to see Jordan's sweet reaction at Santa's early Christmas surprise — it will bring you to tears.
