WE CAN SAFELY assume that Santa is multilingual given the need to communicate with children across the world.
But this also includes sign language, as he demonstrated at a shopping centre in the United Kingdom recently.
He met a girl with hearing difficulties at the Cleveland Centre in Middlesbrough last week.
In the video below, the Santa can seen asking the child’s parents if she knows sign language, before launching into conversation with the girl.
The videographer told New York Daily News that he asked if she wanted a baby doll. The shopping centre wrote on Facebook:
This truly captures the spirit of Christmas we feel at the Cleveland Centre whenever Santa visits!

Santa is the man.
What a fabulous looking Santa he is too and appears very comfortable in the role…well done to him!
This has me all emotional. Im feeling very blessed not only because my children do not face the struggles this little girl must face each day but also that there are people like this Santa in the world who will help all children feel included in such a magical time
Cheered me right up :)
