IN A SUPERMARKET in the US, one man was out doing some a spot of Christmas shopping yesterday.

Dressed in a red shirt and with a white beard, he resembled a certain someone.

And this little girl spotted him immediately

Of course, she went up to him thinking he was Santa – and he played along

He might get this all the time, but he handled it like an old Christmas pro.

And when asked what she is going to leave out for him she’s like “COOKIES”

Just as her mother was calling her away, the guy went into full Santa character mode:

“I have a lot of other kids to buy for, and I have a lot to make.”
