December 17th Thursday 2020 I agree with you !!! He sure is Santa 🎅 Clause !!! I showed my 5 year old granddaughter the video of the three year old little girl talking to Santa 🎅 and my granddaughter got so excited and happy and she said “I knew it , I knew that Santa was real” and she ran to my daughter in-law and said “mom look , Santa 🎅 is real after all “ she was so excited and happy that it made my eyes water !!! My daughter in-law got upset with me and said “ how many times do I have to tell you to stop 🛑 feeding my daughter lies so for the first time in 7 years, I snapped back , she’s a child , not a 30 year old miserable woman who the neighbors hate and two stores have told you not to come back because your mean to cashiers and think that everyone is beneath you when it’s my son that makes you think your a princess !!! Remember you are living in my house and my my sons money but I pay all the the bills to my home !!! This is not your home !!! You are a guest here and if your a princess , then I’m the the Queen and I’ll finally throw you out of my castle , but I noticed that my granddaughter was off to the side listening and watching so I added that’s why Santa 🎅 never visits because he doesn’t like you because you keep saying he’s not real “ she was in shock because in 7 years I have never answered her back but Mr. Roger Lar also gave me a Christmas 🎄 present 🎁 and that was the nerve to finally put her in her place even if my son gets up set !!! Why shouldn’t children believe in Santa 🎅 and enjoy opening gifts 🎁 from Santa 🎅 and why shouldn’t children enjoy Peter Pan and all the good old fashioned wonderful fairy 🧚♀️ tales ??? They are children for just a few years !!! They are innocent and charming and have every right to smile and laugh and enjoy because too rapidly they become adults and the grind of a long life of getting a good education and a great profession and working fifty years before they are free again , begins along with bills and taxes etc !!! An hour lat my granddaughter came upstairs and gave me a hug and said “ thank you grandma , mom said I can have a Christmas 🎄 tree with the beautiful lights and full of all the decorations like we see when we go shopping and she said I can sit on you lap on the rocking by the fire place and falls asleep and you’ll fall asleep then Santa 🎅 Clause will come but when have to leave cookies and milk for the reindeer “ So I told her , “now you see that Santa IS REAL and he’s already making your dreams come true “ and she gave me the biggest smile that I have ever seen in her five year old years !!! So thank you Mr. Rodger Lar ... um ... I mean ... thank you Santa 🎅 !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🤗🤗🤗

My dad had this happen to him a couple summers ago when he was at a restaurant. A boy kept turning and looking at him and pulling his mom's arm sleeve and saying it's Santa. Without missing a beat my dad said to the boy, "how else do you think I check in on you during the year". The boys eyes got bigger than his head. His mom thanked him as they were leaving.

Santa my granddaughter and I love 💕 you ever sooo much !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
He is the REAL SANTA CLAUSE
Oh my God! When he said: “Christmas, we know its all for the children but there is no reason, we can’t enjoy it too”! I got chills! Thats such a Santa Clause thing to say. Like straight out of a film. 😳 Then the end with the charity stuff.
He is everything I ever pictured as a child. From the way he talks (his accent) to how he holds himself. Literally everything I ever imagined.
Santa is real I am 48yrs old and I am proud to say I believe in Santa and that magic at Christmas 🎄 When I was little are my favorite memories.I love you Santa 🎅

I am SANTA and have been for twenty seven years. I can identify with him I can't get lost in a crowd. I always explain to the children and parents this is how I do my naughty and nice list. They never know where I am going to show up or what I will look like, the beard and belly are real so it helps, I always explain that the ones with beards that come off are my helpers. In my years I have never charged, other than donations to the local food bank and Salvation Army.

This is Santa undercover in the store, who got found out. This is still circulating since 4 years ago!

It made me cry...very heart-warming.
I love the contrast of soft lovely Santa (who calls himself Roger) and the pretentious camera personalities
If ever there was a man who could step into the late, great Fred Rogers shoes...this is that man.
His voice is heart warming ☺️☺️☺️☺️
This is the real St Nick. Thank you for sharing love from Texas.
You Sir are a very kind man. You made that little girl's day.❤❤❤❤

@G I'm good, and you ??
It's even a popular video 7 years ahead. Studies have shown kids are pulled towards people who look honest and calm. I'm glad to see someone setting an example of how to look that approachable. Unfortunately a lot of people half his age want to look like a model or can attend a freakshow because of how much make-up or other skin colouring they wear for example. Happy to see someone like him.
there's a guy where i used to live in NC who looked just like santa. he got paid decent money to do it each year. but i really think this guy is the real deal because he tries to play it off and act all casual. he crosses his arms because the blond is starting to put the pieces together.
I am from New Mexico and I think u are a gift from God, Santa! Thank U! U brought tears to my eyes! God bless U 4 your caring!
Ok Im convinced - the real name of Santa Claus is Roger Larck. God bless this beautiful soul with good health and all happiness and prosperity.
Wow he really looks like Santa!!!!!
osm voice how polite and gental manner wonderful i just respect this man he is real santa..😍
God Bless this guy, World need people like him, especially now🎉❤😊 cheers from Russia!
He has compassionate eyes :)
So adorable
Sir, you are a Saint! ♥️
God bless this man.
Can we notice for a while how respectful and gentle he was (not even trying to approach at all more than she allowed him)
I just came across this video. That man is so cool 😎. He made her day. God bless you sir for being so kind and caring to a little girl. ❤
Im a 36 yo man and tears are running, when he said that all he wish for is people to help those that need it. What a hero, and for me he is Santa. To just be kind to others, to say a few words, can help so many! We can all learn so much from him.

What a dear, sweet man. He's so humble and has such a calm demeanor. This was a real treat getting to know a bit about the man behind the Santa video that has made him famous. 💟💟💟
He's calm and kind because he's an Old Soul who has lived many lives. That's where it "comes from".
