7 Interactions With Mall Santas That Have Warmed the Internet's Hearts

Because Erin Deely didn't want her son to miss out on Christmas experiences, she took Brayden, who has autism, to a Caring Santa event for kids with special needs. When it was Brayden's turn to approach, Santa didn't hesitate and got right on the floor with him to play. After capturing several photos of their interaction, Erin said: "Oh my gosh, to be able to do something that other families do. . . . Normally a lot of things are harder for us as a family, and we got to do the same tradition as everyone else — we just do it on the floor."
