Gracie Wilson and her family stopped for breakfast at Bob Evans restaurant last week in Evansville, Indiana. They were seated next to Santa Claus! He was about to start his shift at the Mall and eating alone. "She said, 'Mommy, Daddy, that's Santa!'" Lindsey Wilson, Gracie's mother, told The Huffington Post. "'He eating all by himself?'"

With permission, Gracie kept Santa company. Oh, they chatted it up about pretty much everything - weather at the North Pole, 'Frozen' and what she wants for Christmas.

At one point she asked if she could live with Santa...he politely declined.

I remember actually getting my picture with Santa. When he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I PANICKED! The pressure! This is it!

I asked for slippers. I have regretted that day ever since.

Did you screw up your big opportunity with Santa? Has your kid embarrassed you by asking for a laundry list of things? Comment here or Facebook or Twitter.
