An emotional moment 😭
A Co Down man and his family who have been living in the US since 2013 were given the most "amazing gift" this year after winning a competition to return home to NI for Christmas.
Stephen explained how the whole experience had been "crazy" and he was so excited to share his hometown with his son who was only seven months old when they last visited in 2015. "We didn't have the highest hopes because there are plenty of us Mourne natives living all over the world these days - one morning, getting a FaceTime call from an unknown UK number was a shock."
Stephen added: "We will squeeze out every opportunity for family, friends and memories in our trip home. We are truly grateful for this amazing gift from Enjoy the Mournes and Made in Mournes. The best Christmas present by far!" Samuel and Jenna were surprised at the response to the competition as they had entries from Australia, New Zealand, Israel, the Middle East, Dubai, the UK, Scotland, Canada and the US. Samuel actually knew Stephen from when he was a child which made the random selection of the Graham family even more special.
