“#Dad dressed as Buddy the Elf surprises mortified daughter at school<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Perhaps this elf should have been shelved. <\/p>\n

An overeager dad dressed in a full-on Buddy the Elf costume \u2014 from the 2003 Will Ferrell movie \u2014 to pick up his daughter after school, and her mortified reaction was priceless.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, my goodness, it\u2019s Alayna!\u201d Gregory Sumsion shouted at his high-schooler while wearing the yellow and green outfit and curly wig. \u201cI know her! I know her!\u201d he continued as he app<\/a>roached his shocked daughter, who exclaimed, \u201cWhy am I related to you?!\u201d as her nearby mother captured the whole thing for TikTok<\/a>. The video has been viewed nearly 6 million times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to sing you a song,\u201d screamed the shameless dad, jumping around in the snow and excitedly grabbing at his teen daughter. \u201cAlayna, I\u2019m here, and I love you!\u201d he sang as she jokingly swatted him away. <\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry: She probably won\u2019t get a big lump of coal in her stocking this year. \u201cMy daughter had the biggest smile when we got to the car,\u201d Sumsion told one commenter, adding for another, \u201cWhen we got in the car she said dad, I love you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s no surprise that the elf impersonator\u2019s Instagram bio reads<\/a>: \u201cA father that loves his kids.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second school ambush<\/a> showed the dad picking up his son, Evan, from school while again wearing the festive ensemble. In it, he started a pillow fight with the beaming boy that ended in a big hug as other kids looked on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In another video<\/a>, the dad dispensed toys to kids in a grocery store from a red gift bag, passing along best wishes from Papa Elf, another character \u2014 played by Bob Newhart \u2014 in the cult-favorite comedy film.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not the first to borrow from the Christmas movie to spread holiday cheer. Another man donned the Buddy look earlier this month when, just like in the film, he met his biological father for the first time, in this case at Boston\u2019s Logan Airport.<\/p>\n
