This is the touching moment a young boy gets everything he's ever wanted for Christmas: to become a big brother.

In the run up to the festive period, some children nag their parents for an Xbox, or hope Santa brings them the latest smart phone. But not this lad.

Only child Ethan has always wanted a sibling, and asked for one each Christmas. But this year, he received an unexpected Christmas card, which he was urged to open by his mother.

The card reads: "Have a fantastic Christmas. Can't wait to meet you." It also had a scan of the baby inside it.

Bemused as to why he is being filmed, Ethan gets emotional upon opening the card, when he realises it is a scan of his mother's womb, and that his dream is finally set to become a reality.

Sarah Keeble, Ethan's auntie who sent us this video, said: "This is all he has ever wanted and I'm over the moon for him."
