While his kids piled in the back seat, Danny Kelly Jr, 30, put bags of festive bits in the car boot.
Like a lot of families out and about, Danny and his fiancée, Gleneice Kinard, had popped out for a spot of last-minute Christmas shopping.
Now, on 24 December 2021, all safely buckled into the warm pickup truck, they were heading out to a holiday season gathering.
The festive dinner was a little Christmas Eve treat before the big day itself.
After all, Danny had earned some time off with his family.
