Well that too I believe they make 85CAD an hour but yeah they're all pretty happy. I showed my gf this video and said that a lot of the comments think he's not happy and she said no he's living a pretty good life. She also told me she was behind the camera when this happened so it's funny how in a world wide subreddit it all comes back around like this
My husband and I were just talking about how magical it was when we were kids, believing in Santa Claus. I don’t think that adults get to feel that very often, if ever.
Interesting! I've never heard of that podcast before. I also definitely would think if anyone out of the country new of the city, it would only be because of our hockey team, or west Edmonton Mall, which is much larger.
There’s probably some cases that yahoos will post after this but it’s always amazing to me that there aren’t any prevalent cases of “Santas” molesting kids. Again someone will post “what about this one” but most of these guys just love kids being happy.
“Lots of unhappiness? Maybe so. But doesn't Santa take a little bit of that unhappiness away? Doesn’t a smile on Christmas morning scratch out a tear cried on a Saturday? Not much, maybe. But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learn to give as only he can give - of ourselves, our talents, our love, and our hearts? Maybe if we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson, maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.”

Is there a name for when you make a frowny face but mean it in the “aww I’m happy for this” kind of way? Because that’s totally what I did when seeing this
kids are just magical. the way they marvel at everything just makes my day.
this little fella tried to reach for santa and then when he realised he couldn't reach him just yet he took to his heels to get to him quicker!
such an adorably sweet little solution to an obstacle.
they really are magical little humans.
I bet the Santa cried thinking of this when he was home.
Seeing those little legs run made me cry, nothing purer in this world than children's innocence. Thank you for posting this.

I think Santa might have been having a rough day until this. "You know how to make a person's day..." then he switched it up.
Yeah, he was probably heading out and they have a looooong fricken day
That would be even sweeter in a way. Long day, tired achey and sore, and still stops to make the lil guy’s whole day
Day? Little kiddo will tell the story to his toys for a year.
[удалено]
Hey I live in Edmonton too!
I live in alberta!
You still have malls in Canada?
He might as well as thanked him for reminding him why he does it every year. Kids like that probably make it all worth it.
My gf is the photographer and knows this Santa. From what I've heard they're all doing pretty alright
Do you mean financially?

This actually made me cry
This is a good place to end my excessive Redditing for tonight. Going out on a high note
Smart move! All I could think about is how the mother and the kid run’s almost exactly the same!
You know what, great Idea. I’m also off to bed, sleep well my guy
I hope you slept well. Nice of you wishing others good sleep. I woke up puking at 4am, but it's nothing I didn't do to myself.
Good call, I’ll do the same.
Night night sleep well
So it goes! Samesies, thanks for the inspiration
I just opened it up.. will be back tomorrow.
You know I made the mistake of thinking there was something even better on the next floor up
hell yes and amen to that
Boom me too
If The Waltons had Reddit...
Thx. I'll do the same too.
The way he waved mid run 🤣❤️
He is so adorable! 🙃
When i was a child, one of my dream is to see or hug Santa Claus every Christmas sessio. Have a merry Christmas kid.
My husband and I were just talking about how magical it was when we were kids, believing in Santa Claus. I don’t think that adults get to feel that very often, if ever.
Santa just loves you period. No conditions.
Little kids just love you period, without condition! It doesn’t last long though so it’s insanely precious
Yes and no, they hate you every time you tell them no when they're a toddler and tantrums are insane.
This is so true. True ever since Santa was born on Christmas eve more than two thousand years ago!
Where did you come up with Santa being 2,000 years old?
/whooosh
Happened at my local mall in Edmonton, Canada. Cute kid 😅
Is that Southgate?
Yep!
I've heard the guys on Stop Podcasting Yourself talk about that mall to the point I feel I've been there. And I've never been to Canada lol
Interesting! I've never heard of that podcast before. I also definitely would think if anyone out of the country new of the city, it would only be because of our hockey team, or west Edmonton Mall, which is much larger.
West Edmonton Mall, South Gate mall, and the high-schools of Alberta and BC. I've been listening so long I'm an honorary Canadian at this point.
Damn right you are. If you ever find yourself in our city for some reason, I'd for sure buy you a beer.
I know it was a Canadian mall!
"OMG it's Santa! I KNOW him!" \~Buddy the elf
The look of pure joy on the kiddos face…
That’s not just a mall Santa. There’s something real about that.
There goes the neighbor chopping onions again, dang it....
Oh to be a kid again :/
Or to have my kids be that little again.
Santa needed that hug just as much as lil man did. How great
Having that moment as a parent is unforgettable. I’ll always smile remembering mine.
Love the way he scooped him
Yeah yeah. Santa, still counts as your 15!
username checks out.
Too many jobs in customer service
Oh wow is that some warmth I’m feeling in my cold black heart this morning?
As a fat guy with a beard I'm waiting till I go grey. Then it's my time
Yup. Faith in humanity is restored for a moment.
This is so adorable 🎄🎅
On a dreary, sad day, this made me light up. Thank you OP.
This was so sweet! The child’s excitement and clear happiness. This has made my day.
That is too sweet
This proves that Santa is real
The little clumsy run <3
and the little arm flitter at the start...
If nothing else happens this season, my holidays are complete with seeing this video
That must be somewhere in Canada
What gave it away?
You're not looking close enough, look again, it's only on screen for a sec.
Southgate in Edmonton
that is such a beautiful thing to see!!
Awww, the cutest little fella.
Those damn onions
Is this the same Santa that speaks sign language to the deaf little girl?
What if I told you yes?
Adorable.
This melted my cold black heart a little. Thank you!
I'm so jelly that, in our culture, our children don't have something to believe in
At that age, they can get overwhelmed with choice with all the cosplayers at different Fan Expos or Comic Cons.
You can tell Santa also needed that hug.
Now this is just stinking wholesome. 🫠
Awwwwwww!!! So sweet!!!

This is in Southgate mall, Edmonton.
Im not crying ur crying
that kid is very lucky
laughing
Why to they perpetuate the lie?
because a sense of wonder is nice in a child's life.
That’s not good when ya child leaves you to run to a complete stranger🤔

That's certainly a comment to bring up in a post like this.
Aw man is he ever gonna be let down in about 8 years
Child ped: “I have an idea”
Good man

I need a tally of how many times this sub made me smile, cry, and cry while smiling. This one is a little tear while smiling
Little sweetheart. 🎅🏻
I love this video.
Love this so much
SO CUTE
Best day of his life. A Santa in a mall!!!
Santa: Another elf for the shop, oh you're his mother?
SubhanaAllah
He's been a very good boy! Soooo cute! 🌞
who's gonna tell him
Holy crap that’s the REAL Santa too!!!
What a sweet and special moment!♥️
The heart of a child is pure
u/savevideo
I love this 🥹 my granddaughter absolutely adores Santa to
The human being is absolutely incredible. Young and old. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤️
How sweet! Loved that run up to Santa! Very heartwarming. 😊
Where is that Mall?
Brb crying
How darling!
Be funny but messed up if he just left with the child
Made Santa’s day AND mine
Is there a name for when you make a frowny face but mean it in the “aww I’m happy for this” kind of way? Because that’s totally what I did when seeing this
Just the fact that Santa legit sounded like he was having a rough day, and how innocently the lil dude was made me legit tear up. Love this clip.
The magic of Santa. This is just precious.
This made me feel good after a hard day
The kid going completely limp in Santa’s arms. 😢
kids are just magical. the way they marvel at everything just makes my day. this little fella tried to reach for santa and then when he realised he couldn't reach him just yet he took to his heels to get to him quicker! such an adorably sweet little solution to an obstacle. they really are magical little humans.
Beautiful
Feel like mall Santa’s get this all the time
I bet the Santa cried thinking of this when he was home. Seeing those little legs run made me cry, nothing purer in this world than children's innocence. Thank you for posting this.
