A little girl mistakenly thought she spotted Santa Claus, and what happened next was the sweetest thing.
The Christmas season comes with many traditions and annual activities. One of those includes parents taking their children to see Santa Claus. They may go to this or that mall, that department store, this parade or this particular Christmas celebration to see and talk to the man in the big red suit.
Santa is a popular guy who gets around a lot during the holiday season. Children obviously understand that Santa is seemingly everywhere during this season and that he monitors their behavior and activity very closely. I mean, the song says he knows when you’re awake and asleep.
Knowing that Santa can pop up anywhere around Christmas, one little girl thought she had spotted Santa doing some shopping. She wasn't going to let this opportunity to talk to the man himself pass her by. The precious video shows the child approaching the man she believed to be Santa Claus.
What happened next was one of the sweetest things you’ll ever see.
Instead of getting mad or upset and telling the little girl she was wrong, the gentleman played along. He started to ask her questions, much like Santa would of a child who had come to see him.
The sweet interaction begins with the young lady showing Santa her pretty nails. Santa is very impressed. The kind man asks the child if she is prepared for Christmas and whether she has her tree up yet. She then tells him about the cookies she plans to leave for him and the reindeer on Christmas Eve. She even has detailed instructions on how many cookies are for Santa and the reindeer.
The short interaction ends with the man mistaken for Santa, telling her that he has a lot of toys yet to buy and make before his trip around the world.
What a heartwarming moment from an obviously kind and gentle-hearted man who reacted in the sweetest way possible.
