SEE IT: Local Santa's Heartwarming Message In Sign Language To Deaf Children Goes Viral

DANVILLE, Ky. (CBSNewYork) - A local "Santa Claus" in Kentucky has become a social media sensation this month with his very special message to children hard of hearing.

Jarod Mills – who also goes by Santa on Facebook – is the father of a deaf child in Danville and has been signing for six years.

Dressed as jolly old Saint Nick, Mills is making sure kids who are deaf or hard of hearing also get a chance to receive a message from Santa.

"I wanted to make a video for any deaf/HOH (hard of hearing) kids who may not have been able to make it to a Santa who can sign. Enjoy!" Mills said in the Dec. 10 video post.

That inspiring message has quickly gone viral this holiday season, as it's been viewed over 2.5 million times already.
