This is still the best Christmas video ever. No guilt at all for laughing, you see at a glance of the first frame the girl will have a replacement soon as stores open. And she did see the thing fly.
It's not like it didn't work.
I love how the video is found so easily without knowing much about it [girl, christmas, fairy, fireplace] boom, a whole row of pictures, videos, and gifs of exactly the right thing. This fairy is famed for its fateful first flight.
But finding it also brings up an old comment, something I didn't notice. Daily Mail commenter writes: A father who would rather fiddle with a phone than share a special moment with his daughter. How sad :-((
Yeah. Good point. I transposed this scene over the picture my brother described via email of him right there enjoying his boys playing. Their discovering things is his excitement too. You can tell by the way he writes about them the boy's excitement about things is his life, not just the focus, the boys make his life. When he mentions his wife to me he also thanks her for his boys. Their helicopter would be batted or steered away. He's supervising their play, focused right there. Compared to that the man in the video deserves the chore of replacing it, assuming he's dad, and I think that's funny too.
Plus helicopter fairies are absurd and should be destroyed.

The fairy flew into the fireplace, how do we know that is how she escape the plastic bonds she was in?
Good thinking. Maybe it made its escape up the chimney. I didn't think of that. Fairies sure are magical and clever.
Maybe it was more like a moth doomed by its own innate impulses.
In addition to being magical and clever, fairies tend to do their own thing. Perhaps it was the notion and precise mention of the "lock-it button" that fired this one up.
The guy did manage to spring to his feet rather fast upon hearing the sharp intake of breath and cry of horror as the fairy zoomed by. For being as checked-out as was, he knew where to look. Like his own lock-it button had been released.
It's the clunk at the end that starts me laughing.
Every time a fairy dies a horrible death, a grumpy old man gets his wings.
Funny how no one has described the possible way this could have happened. I watched this video 10 times trying to figure it out and then it hit me. Vacuum intake. The fairy was in the perfect spot. A nexus of air currents that the fireplace was drawing in. She hit that point and got sucked in and VIOLA!!! Poor thing. I chuckled and realized that like what Chip said, replacement the next day was had with a magical resurrection theme to go along with it to boot.
