A Mom Whispered To Santa That Her Son Is Blind And Autistic

December 6, 2023

A heartwarming tale unfolded during a magical visit to Santa's workshop.

A California mother shared a touching post about her son that has warmed the hearts of many.

"I whispered to Santa 'he is blind and autistic and is very interested in Santa'. He said 'say no more' and immediately got down on the floor to greet my little man," Theresa Hudson wrote in a Facebook post.

What followed was a beautiful interaction that transcended words.

"He talked to Matthew for a long time. Let him feel all over him. Told him to pull his beard, feel his hat and talked about his red suit," she continued.

In a touching moment inspired by the classic poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Matthew expressed his curiosity about the twinkle in Santa's eyes. Without missing a beat, Santa invited him to experience the magic firsthand, allowing the young boy to touch and explore his eyes as much as he desired.

But Santa's surprises didn't end there.

"Have you ever felt a real reindeer," Santa asked him.

Guiding him to a display area, Santa introduced him to the enchanting world of reindeer, inviting him to pet a carefully preserved taxidermy reindeer.

The joy in Matthew's exploration, the genuine interest sparked by Santa's kindness, and the magical encounter with a "real" reindeer left the mother's heart overflowing with gratitude and warmth. It's a story that reminds us all of the true magic of the holiday season—a time when kindness, understanding, and the spirit of giving create moments that stay with us forever.
