This little girl found a
new buddy in Santa Claus
Gracie Wilson stopped at
Bob Evans restaurant with her family for breakfast on Monday while visiting her
grandparents in Evansville, Indiana.
The 3-year-old ended up getting seated at
a table next to a very important man with a long white beard and red
suspenders, who was eating alone.
"She said, 'Mommy,
Daddy, that's Santa!'" Lindsey Wilson, Gracie's mother, told The Huffington
Post. "'He eating all by himself?'"
With the help of Gracie's grandmother, the little girl
got the OK to greet the Christmas celebrity, and rushed to his table to give
him a big hug. The kind 3-year-old kept Santa company while he ate his
breakfast, and the two enjoyed a friendly chat.
"They talked for about 20 minutes," Wilson, who
is currently pregnant with a boy, told HuffPost, "and all she wanted to
talk about was [her future baby brother]."
Santa was preparing to visit the local mall to cheer up
other little boys and girls, and decided to get breakfast before the
meet-and-greet. He had been at the restaurant for about 10 minutes, when Gracie
joined him at the table.
Wilson told HuffPost that the pair chatted about the
North Pole's weather conditions and the movie, "Frozen." Gracie even
asked Santa if she could visit him and his toy shop.
Wilson says that her daughter hasn't stopped talking
about Santa since the run-in.
With good behavior like that, Gracie will probably
receive some presents on Christmas from her new best friend.
