Mom Thanks Santa Who Discusses Autism With Her Son [PHOTO]

Over the weekend I was doing some Christmas shopping at the Cherry Vale Mall and I recall walking by Santa's set up and seeing a mom with her three kids; the oldest was about eight and the youngest was about a year old.  I immediately stopped the people I was shopping with so we could see how the youngest would react to sitting on the big guy in red's lap; it was either going to be the cutest photo ever or one that would end up being shared all over Facebook because the baby was terrified. Sure enough, once the baby was placed on Santa's lap, the bottom lip started to curl, the face started to scrunch, tears rolled down her cheeks and she started to cry. It was Christmas card gold.

It's moments like that one that always end up being captured on film and shared with loved ones on Facebook and Buzzfeed's "20 Kids Who Were Terrified by Santa" posts; but it's almost moments like Landon's that also go viral for all the right reasons.

Landon recently paid a visit to the "North Pole" at his local mall and had a discussion with Santa about having autism. His mother was so touched by how Santa handled the situation that she shared her appreciation and gave him a shoutout on her Facebook page.

See, this is all the proof that you need that Santa is real in the hearts of all children and this Santa not only made Landon believe in him, but now Landon will believe in himself.
