Former US President Barack Obama surprised schoolkids with gifts recently.
Former US President Barack Obama recently ditched his tailored suits for something more festive when he surprised schoolkids with gifts. Donning a casual jacket and a Santa hat, Mr Obama visited a Boys and Girls Club in Washington, DC, to hand out gifts and spread some Christmas cheer. A short clip, shared by his Communications Director, shows him walking up to about 50 excited children with a bag of gifts slung over his shoulder. The delighted kids can be seen jumping around and vying to shake his hand.
Mr Obama himself took to Twitter to share a picture from the event.
"There's no better time than the holiday season to reach out and give back to our communities," he wrote in a tweet that has been 'liked' over 3.4 lakh times.
People on Twitter can't stop raving about Mr Obama's thoughtful gesture:
