Feel-Good Friday: This girl got the ultimate Christmas surprise

Amidst the Christmas season, 6-year-old Sadie got more than what she was asking for this Christmas.
Sadie, who is deaf, got the surprise of her life when she went to meet Santa Claus at the Westminster, Mass. tree-lighting ceremony. She always loved getting the chance to meet with Santa each year, but was expecting to have her mom translate for her like she had every year (boy, was she in for a surprise).
Sadie’s mom contacted the Westminster Police Department to see who would be playing Santa and if they would be willing to learn how to sign a few simple phrases to make Sadie have the BEST Christmas present yet--a real ASL convo with the man in the red suit.
So, when she spotted Santa, she was totally caught off gaurd when he used American Sign Language to say “Hello Sadie, Merry Christmas!"
Her reaction is priceless...watch the vid HERE (cue the tears and aweee's). 
If this doesn’t get you in the Christmas spirit, then we don’t know what will.
