VIDEO: Matthew Stafford and Wife Kelly Surprise Young Brothers on Christmas Who Lost Their Father
By Sam Dunn
Far too often, much of Christmas is reduced down to crass commercialism. We've all been guilty of it at one time or another. But this fact only makes the most profound, touching moments of the holiday season even more impactful. Just ask these three brothers, who received a truly unexpected gift at their doorstep: Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, with a Santa-worthy bag of gifts.

The video was originally posted on Facebook a woman named Deana Harb, cousin to the father of these three boys, who sadly lost their father. The spirit of Christmas is one of giving and togetherness, and to see them light up in joyous disbelief when the Staffords showed up at their door is something to cherish indeed.
For Matthew and Kelly, this is an annual tradition.
Lions QB Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly continue their annual tradition of personally surprising a family that has endured a tragedy.
