Santa Claus meeting a child is magical. However, for one Father Christmas in New Zealand, he decided it was a good idea to swap. ‘ho, ho, ho’For ‘no, no, no’.
In a Facebook video, Carter, a Deaf boy using New Zealand Sign Language NZSL (NZSL), sat down next to the Lapland resident to ask him for a Gold Iron Man Toy for Christmas.
Unfortunately, the only thing that was Stark here was Santa’s reply, who turned to the boy’s mother and asked: “Is there nothing you can do to help him with surgery?
“Nothing you can do to fix it?”
The mom stood firm in her reply, signing what she said. “No, no need for that … No, there is nothing to fix, we have sign language.”
Carter signed the Santa Claus letter and received a small gift from Santa. “thank you”He left his mom and walked off.

The clip has since been reposted to Twitter, where people have expressed their shock at Santa’s remarks:
The NZSL with Carter Facebook page commented on the incident: “This is not the first time I’ve had to have this conversation with Santa. It’s awful having to answer these questions in front of Carter – when we are there to talk about his Christmas Wishlist!
“I kept up my smile but wanted to get out of there as quick as possible!”
