I was laughing so hard when Michelle was like "I can sleigh?" an then the other person was like "You can sleigh girl. Yes you can"

Would love to see you do a challenge accepted as an ASL interpreter!! It might inspire some people to take that career path to provide accessibility to the Deaf community! Maybe you could interpret one song at a concert as your final challenge.

I didn’t even know there was a Santa school. Actually gives me some hope for humanity that people exist who are this dedicated to adding a little whimsy to childhood.

I had a feeling Michelle was gonna do something for Christmas but I never had Santa school in mind 😀

[edithpatel]

It's sweet how she refers to the other learners as " Santa's Cousins"😂🥺

The camera and the editing of these videos is top notch...felt like I was watching a movie ..great job guys

I just wanted to thank you for making this video Michelle.

I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years. While not an active one in the comments, but still a lurker who watches every video.

Regardless, I popped this video on for my mom without giving it a watch first and was pleasantly surprised that it took place in Midland, Michigan. My mom is from Michigan for context.

She really loved the video and asked for me to show it to my grandparents on Christmas.
They actually lived in Midland, Michigan for a decade or two. They loved watching the video.

Thank you for creating a video that I was able to share with my entire family 💜

I’m shocked that this school ACTUAL exsists, I thought that my cousin was joking when they said they went to a Santa school

I feel like this is one of the most inner-child-healing videos ever posted; both santa michaels were so sweet and the story of how one became santa was so so meaningful and sweet I was honestly starting to cry at the very beginning but started ugly crying by that point. its impossible to not love all of your videos, but this one was especially magical- thank you for all of the magic you share<3

The spirit hit me so hard.... Those jolly men brought tears to my eyes and helped me refocus. What a wonderful video!!! Merry Christmas to all of you!

My school has his raggedy, fake Santa that doesn’t even look like Santa, but he is very kind and he makes everyone laugh

2 UPLOADS IN A WEEK? WE’RE BEING SPOILED

When Santa Lee gave the speech about getting up the courage to go from being an elf to Santa I started feeling so many things! Seriously that story in its self could be its own movie or documentary. Awesome episode Michelle Khare and team!

[ohkaygoplay]

You did a great job, Michelle! :D I could hear the heart in your voice. You gave this your all, and it showed. :)

It's funny that listening to both Santa Michaels made me feel like a kid just watching them, because they ARE Santa. It's in their voice, their eyes, their smiles, their demeanors, and their presence (presents. :) ). They are iconic Santas that me and millions of others have seen. I know I'm an adult, but for a couple of moments, I felt warm like I used to feel at Christmas.
Santa Michael's story about his dream made me cry.
What a good soul. :)

This is so sweet 🥺 teared up near the end. It’s soo nice knowing that they learn sign language also to not let anyone feel left out. ❤❤❤

[EllieMelmoth-fgcl]

it’s really cute and heartwarming how much care is put into making the kids feel special and loved in a world that is so dark

One day when I retire in 30 years, I will go to this school and become Santa. This video was amazing, I'm still crying 4 minutes after the video is done. Thank you Michelle!

[thoins]

Why is this video making me emotional? Christmas feels like just another day as an adult, but the overall joy and love for Christmas in this video has brought a little bit of that special feeling back!

[wzogysb]

I love how Michelle is never afraid to try new things.

[felixhenson]

LOVE that speech from the little person, it must be so easy to be typecast and stuck as forever the elf as a little person so he's gotta be a great Santa! And i'm so happy to see them teaching ASL so Santa can spread joy to ALL children 💖
