CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Clarksville woman conspired with Santa to give her young sons the greatest Christmas surprise.

Danielle Horn’s oldest son, Jay, is a sailor in the Navy. He had told his younger brothers he wouldn’t be able to make it home for Christmas, but Santa and Danielle had other plans.

On Friday morning, the boys arrived at Governor’s Square Mall for a visit with Santa. As they posed for a photo, Jay walked out to surprise them.

“I’m glad that I could do it because I told them I wouldn’t be able to make it so that caught them off guard. It makes me really happy to surprise them,” Jay said.

Jay’s brothers (Gage, Matthew, and Rune) said they were ecstatic to have their brother home for Christmas. Danielle was also pleased that the surprise went well.

“It feels wonderful to have him home. We’re a complete family again,” she said.
