America’s sweetheart Kelly Clarkson and our all time favorite a capella group Pentatonix have joined their out-of-this-world vocal skills before, but their performance of this year might be the best so far.

They are no strangers to holiday specials and each season they leave us eagerly waiting for their choice of holiday hits they give new life to. Listening and watching them sing together makes us all smiles and fill our hearts will pleasure as they belt out the lyrics of Kelly’s hit song “My Grown Up Christmas List.“

The whole experience is way better than anyone could have imagined. They never fail to lift the Christmas spirit up and treat their fans and everyone who gets to listen to them with this once-in-a-lifetime performance. 

The group huddles together in a Las Vegas restaurant and gives one unsuspecting couple the surprise of their life.

Both Pentatonix and Kelly became the synonym of the best Christmas shows over the years. Their treat their audience with renditions of the melodies and the songs that grew close to our hearts and remind us of all the beauties the season brings. They perform alongside many other famous artists. Kelly had previously performed “Silent Night” with her idols Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood. 

Kelly gushed:

“Trisha and Reba – total dream come true. Totally cried the day we were in the studio. I was just freaking out. We did ‘Silent Night’ as a trio, and it ends a cappella! And it’s so ridiculous. I have never been so vain in my whole life, but I have listened to that song I don’t know how many times.”

You’re not the only one, Kelly!

Kelly always knew how to appreciate the holidays, but after she got engaged to the love of her life, this season became her all time favorite. She even dedicated some of her hits to Brandon.  

Kelly explained:

“The one titled ‘Winter Dreams: Brandon’s Song’ would be one [that was dedicated to Brandon]. What was the first hint? No, that one’s definitely about him. Honestly, I wrote ‘Every Christmas’ which was another song on the Christmas album. It was the first song I wrote on the Christmas album with my guitarist, and I wrote it about just my whole life, how every Christmas, I was just like, ‘This is going to be different, right? I’m going to actually find someone and not be pathetically alone for the rest of my life?’ 

So, I wrote it about those deep emotions that you go through during that time, when it’s supposed to be a happy time, but you’re just like, OK, every Christmas, I keep thinking it’s going to change, and it doesn’t. Then ‘Winter Dreams: Brandon’s Song’ is kind of after we were together and we got engaged. Christmas changes, it morphs, it comes to life a little more. It’s just a happier time.”

She never misses the chance to remind us what Christmas is all about, and that’s the love we have for each other. As for her album “Meaning of Life,” she said how she couldn’t wait for the fans to experience the music live, to not only hear it, but feel it. And she definitely nailed it, because the fans were left speechless.

Man Asks Hotel If He Could Bring His Pet. But Their Reply Is Gold

Maybe dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. Having one means being constantly surrounded by unconditional love and loyalty. And even though there are many people who don’t understand how important our fur babies are to us saying they are just dogs, luckily, there are those who know these creatures are family members, just like this cool hotel owner. 

Take a look at this, it’s awesome!

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a town he planned to visit on his holiday. He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved.

Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?”

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:

SIR: “I’ve been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.

I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.

And, if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here, too.”

When Iliana’s father, Army Captain Eric Morski was deployed to Nepal six months ago, it left the 10-year-old heartbroken. She missed her daddy so much that she would talk to him on the phone every single day to tell him about how she spent her time.

A few days ago, lovely Iliana was talking to her dad on Facebook during dinner time. However, this time it was different. As they were doing the small talks, Meredith, Iliana’s mother asked her daughter to take a closer look at the background. The girl went completely crazy wen she noticed familiar setting. Her dear hero of a father was in the other room.

The girl’s reaction is a must watch. Simply priceless!

Beachgoers Clap To Reunite Lost Girl with Mother On Brazilian Beach

Brazil is known for its stunning tropical beaches that are one of the best in the world. With dazzling white sand and the clear blue water it feels like you’ve found a secret bit of paradise on Earth.

These out-of-this-world places are visited by millions of people who enjoy the beauties of the God-given nature. Among all the visitors there are families with young children who can easily get lost among the crowd. 

What is truly amazing is that in case a kid is lost, the beachgoers have came up with a very simple but useful technique of tracking the parents of the lost child down. 

With no broadcasting system to cover the large stretch of sand, one of the bystanders puts the child on their shoulders while the onlookers constantly clap their hands. 

YouTube

This technique seem to be a very useful one because it has helped many parents reunite with their little ones in a matter of minutes, which would otherwise take a lot more time. 

A little girl got separated with her mom at the Pria das Conchas (beach). When the crowed realized the girl was all by herself,  they started clapping. 

YouTube

While they were going up and down the beach, a man was standing in the water waving hands.

The search for her girl had a happy ending as the mom noticed the people clapping and rushed to take her daughter in her arms. 

We are happy everything turned out just fine for this loving family.

Woman Finds Hilarious Note Attached to Dog’s Collar

This is really awesome. To be honest, I didn’t expect such an ending. 

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. 

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. 

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. 

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks. 

Curious I pinned a note to his collar:

”I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:

”He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3, he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

93-yr-old WWII veteran dies with no family to carry casket – then 6 teens show up in uniform

Veterans who served our country are the pillars-of-the-community and the reason why we get to enjoy the freedom of today. 

These people have sacrificed a lot and deserve all the respect in this world. We should make sure to always remind them how we wouldn’t make it without their courage and selflessness. 

However, young generations don’t seem to understand the role the veterans played for the safety of the nation, and although it’s sad, our faith in the youth restores when we hear stories like the one below. These young men did something that should teach the rest of us how things should be done the right way.

This is the story of Thomas Hunter, a brave soldier who took part in the WWII from 1942 to 1949. 

After the war ended he didn’t get married and spent his life of 93 years alone. He did have siblings, 11 to be exact, whom he outlived. So when this veteran died, there was no one who could carry his casket. 

Bryan Price, the funeral director helping to arrange the necessary formalities, contacted local football coach Lyn Bankston to see if any of his players would be willing to help out.

Bankston spoke with Matthew Harrell, Brett Jurek, Justin Lawson, T.J. Homan, Christian Evans, and Lee Estay to see if they minded getting involved. Every single one of them gave a resounding yes.

“They know the sacrifice Mr. Hunter made and it meant something to them,” Bankston said

The boys appeared on the day of the funeral wearing their football uniforms and performed all the duties this man deserved as a final goodbye.

U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham praised the young men for their actions, saying:

“They didn’t know this man, but they knew that every veteran deserves to die with dignity and be honored for the sacrifices he made in defense of this nation,” Abraham said. “I think the actions of these young men speak volumes about what’s truly important — country, community, family, God.”

We can’t thank these young men enough for everything they did for the veteran, because helping him meant helping the nation. They assured us our youth is well raised and knows how to respect the elderly and those who gave up on everything for the United States.

This is indeed a really touching story. Please share it with your family and friends. 

This Man Just Found A 14 Year Old Pregnant Girl Out In The Cold. This Is Heartbreaking.

We never know how significant, and even life changing, the kindness and the good deeds we do can be for those who go through tough times. Sometimes, even a few words of empathy are enough to make person’s world go round again. The following story is a perfect example of that. It’s so soul-touching I couldn’t hold my tears back. I was day tripping to Vancouver from Seattle and stopped in for lunch at a little cafe. From my window I saw a young teenage girl out in the cold, squatted down in a closed up businesses doorway, holding a small bundle in her arms. She was panhandling, people were mostly walking by ignoring her. She looked just broken. I finished up my meal and went outside, went through my wallet and thought I’d give her $5 for some food. I got up to her and she was sobbing, she looked like she was 14-15. And that bundle in her arms was a baby wrapped up. I felt like I just got punched in the chest. She looked up putting on a game face and asked for any change, I asked her if she’d like some lunch. Right next door was a small quick-Trip type grocery store, I got a can of formula for the baby (very young, maybe 2-3 months old.), and took her back to the cafe though I’d just eaten. She was very thankful, got a burger and just inhaled it. Got her some pie and ice cream. She opened up and we talked. She was 15, got pregnant, parents were angry and she was fighting with them. She ran away. She’s been gone almost 1 full year. I asked her if she’s like to go home and she got silent. I coaxed her, she said her parents wouldn’t want her back. I coaxed further, she admitted she stole 5k in cash from her Dad. Turns out 5k doesn’t last long at all and the streets are tough on a 15 year old. Very tough. She did want to go back, but she was afraid no one wanted her back after what she did. We talked more, I wanted her to use my phone to call home but she wouldn’t. I told her I’d call and see if her folks wanted to talk to her, she hesitated and gave bad excuses but eventually agreed. She dialed the number and I took the phone, her Mom picked up and I said hello. Awkwardly introduced myself and said her daughter would like to speak to her, silence, and I heard crying. Gave the phone to the girl and she was just quiet listening to her Mom cry, and then said hello. And she cried. They talked, she gave the phone back to me, I talked to her Mom some more. I drove her down to the bus station and bought her a bus ticket home. Gave her $100 cash for incidentals, and some formula, diapers, wipes, snacks for the road. Got to the bus, and she just cried saying thank you over and over. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and a hug, kissed her baby, and she got on the bus. I get a Christmas card every year from her. She’s 21 now and in college. Her name is Makayla and her baby was Joe. I’ve never really told anyone about this. I just feel good knowing I did something good in this world. This great man restores our faith in humanity. We should always offer a helping hand and make a change in someone’s life. Please share this heartwarming story with your loved ones.

Woman Shocked A Welfare Officer When She Walked There With Her 15 Kids.

This is hilarious. Having 15 kids ain’t easy, but this woman knows how to deal with them all. Take a look and get your laugh for today! A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids… “WOW,” the social worker exclaims, are they ALL YOURS???” “Yep, they are all mine,” the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, “Sit down, Leroy.” All the children rush to find seats. “Well,” says the social worker, “then you must be here to sign up. I’ll need all your children’s names.” “This one’s my oldest – he is Leroy.” “OK, and who’s next?” “Well, this one he is Leroy, also.” The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy! “All right,” says the caseworker. “I’m seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?” Their Momma replied, “Well, yes–it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, ‘Leroy!’ An’ when it’s time for dinner, I just yell ‘Leroy!’ an’ they all comes a running. An’ if I need to stop the kid who’s running into the street, I just yell ‘Leroy’ and all of them stop. It’s the smartest idea I ever had, naming them all Leroy.” The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, “But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?” “I call them by their last names.” If this made you laugh, please share it with your friends!
