For the first time, Emily Andrews got to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas.

Emily, who is profoundly deaf, got to meet the Jolly Old Elf while attending an event at her brother's school in Goole, East Yorkshire, in England.

The Airmyn Park Primary board had heard about Emily and took to social media for help, according to a story on the Good News Network website. Melanie Boyeson, who is a trained sign language interpreter, saw the post and offered to help. Soon Boyeson was dressed as an elf and helping at Santa's side when Emily came to let him know what she wanted for Christmas.
