UPS employee "saves Christmas" by delivering a child's toy for the parents. The employee, named Aubrie Jones, shared a video of her wrapping a new Barbie Dreamhouse and delivering it to the parents' home without having to spoil the surprise for the little girl, making the parents feel appreciated and grateful for delivery workers like Aubrie.
Aubrie briefly explained in her viral TikTok of over 1 million views,
"Just a seasonal UPS employee trying to make sure Christmas isn't ruined for a little girl after a store shipped this Barbie Dreamhouse in the most obvious packaging ever," Jones wrote in text overlaid on the video.
This video had many parents commenting how thoughtful Aubrie was for taking the initiative to make the holidays a little more special. Becoming Santas little helper and "saving" a child's holiday surprise had others talk about their similar experiences with UPS delivery drivers:
"This is what our parents meant when they said Santa is real. The spirit of Christmas. That's the magic," one TikTok user commented.
"I bought this same thing and my ups driver came to the door and explained what it [was] and asked where he could hide it. UPS drivers out here saving Christmas," another TikTok user wrote.
One person commented, "Ours leaves notes on our door every year 'I put the package in your shed so the little one wouldn't see it'. 😭😭💜."
Jones told Storyful she noticed the unwrapped toy and decided to wrap it "in an attempt to disguise the package and hopefully prevent a child from seeing the delivery on the step."
Jones' post also caught the attention of her employer, shipping and logistics company UPS, which chimed in with a comment calling her the "Definition of Santa's Helper."
"I love this job and the feeling I get of being Santa's elf," Jones wrote in part, responding to UPS.
