Step aside, mall Santa — Barack Obama is giving you a run for your money. On Dec. 14, former President Obama spent time at a Boys & Girls Club in Washington DC, handing out presents and spreading holiday cheer. According to the Washington Post, Obama Claus shook hands and greeted [3] about 50 middle school students at their after-school program. Donning a "cool dad" leather jacket [4] and a festive Santa hat, he's clearly the most stylish Claus [5] we've ever seen.

"There's no better time than the holiday season to reach out and give back to our communities," he wrote on Twitter [6]. Well, based on the video that Obama's communications director posted on Twitter [7], the children were equally as ecstatic to see him. We just have one question now that Obama's returned from the North Pole [8]: would he mind maybe going back to the White House [9]?!
