This mall Santa using sign language with a little girl is like a scene out of 'Miracle on 34th Street'

 

An act of holiday kindness is going viral on Reddit, after a user uploaded a video of a mall Santa Claus in England using sign language to communicate with a little girl.

Here's a look. When the little girl's mother explains that she can't speak well, the Santa asks if she knows how to sign instead.

The two then have a totally adorable conversation. Here's a translation, according to one Redditor

Santa: You want it too? Do you want a video game too?

Child: No. You are able to use sign language?

Santa: Do you want a bicycle?

Child: No I don't want to fall.

Santa: I'm nice. Santa is nice.

The sweet moment is reminiscent of a scene from the 1994 remake of Christmas classic "Miracle on 34th Street," where Santa, played by Richard Attenborough, signs with a young, deaf customer named Sami.
