Getting your picture taken with Santa and telling him what you want for Christmas is considered a rite of passage for most children.
But what if you couldn't communicate your wish list to Santa the same way other kids can?
This was the case for one little girl with hearing difficulties, when her mother sat her on Santa's lap at their local mall in Cleveland, US, until Santa revealed he was proficient in sign language.
In a video uploaded to YouTube and viewed over 250,000 times, the girl's mother explains "she can't speak very well".
