Wonderful!

Katie Mythen-Lynch

It’s the season of giving, but comedian Amy Schumer has gone above and beyond this year in search of the perfect gift for her dad.

The Comedy Central star and bestselling author took to social media to share the big news: she has bought back the family farm, which they lost when she was just 12 and her father was declared bankrupt having also been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

The funnywoman dug out an adorable video to post with her announcement.

:Video from the farm when I was running away in the cornfield and my dad was taunting me because I wanted him to come with me.” she captioned the clip.

“We lost the farm when we lost everything else. But today I got to buy it back for him.”

Later Schumer shared a second image showing her father’s face and her own as she told him the news over Skype.

Today I bought my father’s farm back.
