This Dad Just Played an Epic Christmas Prank on His Daughter

The Internet is going bonkers over a dad's hilarious holiday prank on his daughter. He appears to be riding on the shoulders of a wobbly elf — we totally bought it and so did the girl, who saved herself by running away.

This dad just won Christmas.

This is one Christmas joke that's sure to go down in holiday history.
