Scared Boy Confesses his Secret Fear to Santa and Reply has Everyone in Tears
Landon and his family was visiting Santa at the RiverTown Crossings mall in Michigan when the little six-year-old approached the Big Man with a very important question.
After his family photo was complete, Landon ran back up to Santa. His arms were twitching in anticipation and pure adrenaline. He was going to ask something that made him very nervous.
“Will my autism put me on the naughty list?”
Landon was concerned that his mental condition was going to rub Santa and the elves the wrong way, but he couldn’t have been more wrong!
Without hesitation, Santa responded with an amazing answer.
“You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it’s OK. You’re a good boy. You’re a good boy, you know?”
The nervous energy left Landon immediately and his mom Naomi sat there and watched in amazement as Santa calmed her son. She shared that Santa flawlessly explained what she’s been trying to teach her son since he was born – he is not any better or worse than a person simply due to his mental condition. He is a good person and Santa made that clear. With only five words Santa made everything right again: “It’s OK to be you!”
The words seemed to really resonate with Landon. He and Santa spent another five minutes talking about Landon’s interests and the joyous Christmas season.
Santa gave him undivided attention and answered all of the little one’s questions with his signature jolly demeanor.
The reassurance from such an important person warmed their hearts and gave Landon the boost of confidence he was searching for.
This sweet boy and his experience with Santa will definitely make you tear up.
