If you kids ever complain about presents, make them watch this

Sometimes, it is easy for our children to forget how lucky they are.

They have a roof over their head, they go to school and they get presents at special occasions. 

For some children out there, this is not the case, and so when they do get small gifts, it is extra special. 

A video posted by Shit Happens on Facebook shows young boys in Africa opening their Christmas gifts last year. 

Operation Christmas child is an organisation that arranges shoe boxes to be filled with appropriate gifts for kids in developing countries.

These children are given small toys, such as colouring books and teddy bears, and are more than overjoyed. 

This video, which was originally posted last year, has been view 12 million times, and has been shared over 400,000 times. 

So the next time your child complains about not having the latest iPhone or PlayStation, show them this video.
