Santa truly is magical! Well, actually we have mom to thank for this touching video, but Santa helped out a bunch too! Mari Brooks and son Austin had just lost their beloved cat, and Austin was volunteering at an animal shelter. During a photo session with Santa, the bearded one held a black cat Austin had particularly taken to. Mari then used that moment to let Austin know the best furry Christmas present ever was officially coming home with them.
