Danville, Ky. — A Kentucky man who is the father of a deaf child wanted to share the magic of Santa with other deaf children, so he made a video that has gone viral on social media.

Jarod Mills donned Santa Claus attire and recorded a video message in sign language. He told the children that they are all “amazing” and that they all made “the nice list,” WHAS reported. Mills told WHAS that he was inspired to create the video message because he knows deaf children didn’t often get to visit Santa in their language.

I wanted to make a video for any deaf/HOH kids who may not have been able to make it to a Santa who can sign. Enjoy!
