Christmas was about a week ago but Spotlight singer Jennifer Hudson's assistant is still enjoying his present from her, a new house!

Hudson gifted Walter Williams with the home and shared his hilarious and grateful reaction on Instagram Tuesday.

She wrote, "My assistant Walter's reaction when he found out I was buying him a house for Christmas!"

Williams screamed and immediately ran over and jumped on Hudson, who was laying on a couch nearby and gave her a big hug.

The next day Hudson told her 342,323 followers on Instagram that Williams took his excitement outside and dumped her in the snow. She shared a picture of herself getting up off the ground with snow covering her pants.

Hudson and Williams are childhood friends and have known each other since their time at Yale Elementary School in Chicago, Ill., according to The Huffington Post. In a 2009 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he revealed he stuck by her when she was eliminated from season 3 of American Idol and that through her success she is still the same person.

"I promised her that I wouldn't stop until the whole world saw her. You know, out of all this, all the press and the accolades, she has remained true to herself. She's still the same sweet girl I met in grammar school. She's still Jennifer."

In 2011, the Oscar-winning star said that their relationship goes past boss/assistant and revealed that Williams is one of her closest friends.

It was a good Christmas for J. Hud too as she spent the holidays in her stomping grounds, Chicago, but the weather might have been getting to her a little bit.

She posted a picture Sunday with the caption, "I love my hometown Chicago but baby it is cold outside! Shhhh.....n I wouldn't have no other way!"
