WATCH: Mayo man gives his mother the fright of her life with surprise visit home for Christmas

Conor Heneghan

From petrified with terror to delirious with joy in the space of about five seconds.

One of the best sights of the festive season is seeing families reuniting with a loved one who has made the journey home from abroad for Christmas.

It’s even better when some family members are completely unprepared for their arrival and though we’ve seen plenty of examples at this stage, the latest one might just be our favourite yet.

Enda Conway made the long trip home from San Francisco to Garrymore in Mayo just in time for the Christmas and when his mother Mary landed home to find him waiting, camera in hand, to greet her, safe to say she didn’t quite know how to react.

Warning: Viewers may find this scary at first and be overcome with emotion seconds later.

This is just lovely.
