On a normal shopping day at Wal-Mart this mother and daughter left with a memory they will never forget.

Mother Ana-Marie Sandoval was shopping with her daughter Aria at the Neighborhood Wal-Mart off 34th and Osage when all of a sudden Aria spots out a man that really looks like Santa. She then walks up to him and asked if he was Santa.The man then told her he was Santa and wished them a Merry Christmas.

Aria walked away with mom with the biggest smile on her face. Minutes later the man found them at the register and asked Aria what she wanted for Christmas. Santa then reached into his basket gave her candy and money to pay for it.

Ana-Marie was moved by the man's generosity and took a photo of both of them before they left the store. The photo was put on social media and has gone viral!

Here's a message that was left on the mother's Facebook:

Aria and I saw this man shopping while we were at Walmart this morning. She stopped him to ask if he was Santa. He said yes and wished her a Merry Christmas as he walked by. Her eyes lit up and she got a huge smile on her face and we continued shopping. A few minutes later, he found us in another aisle and asked if we had a couple minutes to talk. It's Santa, of course we have time to talk!!! He chatted with her a bit...asked her how old she was, her name, what she wanted for Christmas, etc. Then he grabbed some Christmas candy he had put in his basket and gave them to her along with $10 to purchase them. She even had enough extra that she was able to buy a chocolate surprise toy each for her sister and herself, that they've been eyeing by the register every time we go!
Dear Santa, 🎅
THANK YOU for keeping the Christmas spirit alive, not only for the kids, but for us all!
