The tot has been captured on camera sitting on Santa’s lap - and she tells the man in red what she wants for Christmas using sign language.

The footage, captured by an onlooker at the shopping centre and uploaded to YouTube on December 5, shows the girl’s mother telling Santa Claus that her daughter can’t talk very well.

Santa then asks if she can sign, and proceeds to chat with her using sign language, and asking what she would like this year.
