Five-year-old Claire Koch’s impromptu sign language performance went viral in 2013 when her mother, Lori, posted the video on social media. She expected her friends to like it. What she did not anticipate was the overwhelming response from strangers around the web, whose hearts were warmed by Claire’s choice to sign along with the holiday jingles. Sign language has always been a part of Claire’s life, her parents told USA today. Since both of Claire’s parents are deaf, it’s only natural that Claire would want to perform in holiday pageant in a way that made her parents feel included.

If the kindergartner’s thoughtful song interpretations weren’t enough, she has the biggest, most enthusiastic facial expressions on this side of the North Pole. Watch the video below to see the sweetness for yourself.
