Christmas proposal leads to woman’s meltdown

You may have been inundated with the engagements and proposals of your friends and family on social media this holiday season. For the most part, the occasions are pretty happy events.

But some people’s reactions are even more intense and emotional than expected. Take this gal, for instance, who was clearly not expecting this romantic surprise.

In the video of her Christmas Day proposal, the woman’s boyfriend gifted her a box of letters that spelled out “Will you marry me.” She stays pretty cool until she gets to the letter y. Then she becomes overwhelmed with emotion.

She ended up saying yes, but we hope the next time her fiancé asks a question, it’s a little less intense.

Fan caught on camera sneaking a sniff of NBA player

Everyone wants a piece of his or her favorite sports star.

Unfortunately, for this poor gentleman, his stolen little moment with a Pacers player was caught on camera.

He, his friends and his family will forever be able to view his deep whiff of forward center Lavoy Allen’s sweaty jersey.

Observe as he leans in, inhales deeply and really savors the waft of what is most likely a pretty musty scent. His facial reaction seems to suggest that the jersey didn’t smell like a rose, but maybe a basketball player’s scent is more like a fine wine and will only get better with time. But probably not.

The next time this fan needs a souvenir, we recommend that he head to the gift shop.

Hero monkey revives electrocuted friend

The world has been in need of a superhero monkey, and we may have just found him. A simian in India is being hailed a hero following a harrowing incident at a train station in Kanpur on Dec. 21. When his fellow primate was electrocuted and fell unconscious after walking on high-voltage wires, the rescue monkey went into action. First he tried rubbing and patting the other monkey, and then moved on to a more drastic measure — dipping him in nearby water. Train passengers looked on while snapping photos and shooting video of the incredible rescue. After about 20 minutes, the injured monkey started to show signs of life. From the looks of it, it seems like he will be all right.

Kangaroo takes out drone with one punch

Are you looking for a last-minute Christmas gift for your kangaroo? Probably not, but if you were, you should definitely cross a drone off your list. It goes without saying that kangaroos are not animals you want to mess with. One unfortunate drone operator learned that the hard way while on a mission to film a group of the marsupials in the wine region of Hunter Valley in Australia. When the drone came in for a close-up shot, one member of the pack who wanted its privacy respected, used a very kangaroo-like method of dealing with the device — by punching it to the ground.

The protective Joey damaged the drone, but luckily for us the footage was recovered. We should mention that it could have ended much worse for the drone — remember the viral video of the kangaroo street brawl?

Is this the worst commute?

Workin’ 9 to 5 is a way to make a living — however commuting 1,204 miles to get to work will probably drive you crazy if you let it.

Just ask Ian Bearce. It takes him six hours to get to and from work.

The man travels from Minneapolis to New York City and back on a weekly basis for his job at design company The Mill.

Explaining his commute, he says, “I drive to the airport, park, take the airport shuttle, get to my gate about 10 minutes before we board, and usually go back to sleep for a portion of the flight, and then take a train or bus to the office, sometimes both, depending on which airport I land at. [I] get into the office around 12:30, just in time for a conference call, usually.”

Ian says his job is amazing and worth it, and he has never considered relocating his service and devotion to NYC.

He is just one of the many “super commuters,” a growing population of folks who commute 90 minutes or more because they choose to live in a rural environment but work in a metropolis.

What a way to make a living!

This boulder in the Swiss Alps is actually a tiny, hidden home

There’s a tiny home located way up in the Swiss Alps that you have to see to believe.  The studio house, dubbed Antoine, was designed by Bureau A, an architectural design firm. The concept came from the work of renowned Swiss writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz, who died in 1947. In his novel “Derborence,” the main character, Antoine, lives through a landslide and survives seven weeks under the rocks of the Alpine valley. According to the designers, the home is meant to mimic the "strong tradition of observing the Alps, living with them, hiding inside them."

Children return our faith in the season

Knowing this, IKEA in Spain conducted a holiday experiment for its recent campaign. It gathered 10 families and asked the children from each to jot down two Christmas wish lists. The first was written to “The Three Kings,” which is the Spanish equivalent to Santa. The second Christmas wish list was for their parents. The difference between the letters is heartwarming.

The letters they wrote to the Three Kings are full of the usual requests of children for unicorns and extravagant toys. The letters they wrote to their parents, though, were for things that only a parent can give a child — love, attention and comfort. IKEA’s little experiment may show both kids and parents that what children really want to fill their home this holiday season isn’t necessarily found under a tree. It’s what surrounds it. A loving home, according to the children in this ad, is the best Christmas gift of all.

Car parked in crosswalk turns out to be a big surprise

Each day, dedicated crossing guards make sure the children in their communities get to school safely. But sometimes, they themselves need a little assistance.

Nathaniel Kendrick became a crossing guard years ago after he retired from a job with the city of Dallas. Every morning and afternoon, he helps the children of his community get to and from school safely. He then returns home to his ailing wife.

Due to the mounting expenses from his wife’s illness, Kendrick’s car was recently repossessed.

So local parents, who are grateful that Kendrick keeps their children safe every day, stepped in. A group of dads who are part of the Friends of Lakewood community group gathered to help him in his time of need.

In a video that has gone viral, the dads park a car in a school crosswalk, and Kendrick asks them to move it. "He's asking us to move the car, and I'm going, 'Well, it's your car... why don't you move it?'" said one father.

In the video, it is apparent just how speechless Kendrick is when he recognizes their kindness. You can hear someone say to him, “You deserve every bit of this.” The kind act is a true example of a community taking care of each other.
