Santa Uses Sign Language To Make Girl's Wish Come True

If this doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, we don't know what will.
Jesse Ferreras

Leave it to Santa to hear every child's Christmas wish, no matter what language they speak.

A touching moment unfolded at the Cleveland Centre mall in Middlesbrough, England on Saturday when a hearing-impaired girl sat on Santa's lap.

Her mom told Jolly Old St. Nick that the girl couldn't speak very well — but it turns out that didn't matter.

The pair managed to communicate using sign language, and the girl told Santa that she wanted a scooter for Christmas.

The YouTube video, uploaded the same day, had drawn almost 300,000 views as of Monday afternoon. Many viewers said the exchange made them cry.

If this doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, we don't know what will.
