Good news, everybody, Santa Claus is real! He’s real and working at a mall in Evansville, Indiana.

According to She Knows, Santa was discovered by Donnie Walters, who went with his wife and 6-month-old son, Zeke, to get a picture with Santa Claus last week. There was a long, long line, and Zeke was wide awake until just before it was his turn, because isn’t that the way it always is with babies? Just as they were getting ready to go up, Zeke fell sound asleep.

Santa, however, was not to be thwarted. He told the Watlers to try to keep the baby asleep, and then posed for easily the cutest baby and Santa photo I have ever seen. Like, I’ve had to look at it for about an hour to prepare this post, and I’m pretty sure this photo just got me pregnant again.

“I can’t believe how adorable our son’s pictures with Santa came out,” Walters said, posting the insane cuteness to his public Facebook page. “After falling asleep in line waiting, Santa asked us not to wake him and the outcome was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.”

For obvious reasons, people are just eating this photo up. The photo has been “liked” more than 56,000 times and shared by nearly 5,000 people. Evansville, Indiana, must have the world’s most popular Santa right now. I mean, I’d be willing to drive a little bit further out of my way for a Santa picture with this guy, mostly because I’m pretty sure this is actually Santa Claus.

Dear Evansville, Indiana, Santa, for Christmas I want a raise, half a case of French Champagne, and a dog.
