Orem, Utah • A mall in Orem is providing a special Christmas gift for children with autism, anxiety or other issues that make visiting Santa difficult.
The Daily Herald in Provo reports that University Place has been offering a "Quiet Santa" for kids who may get overwhelmed by the noise and long lines that come with seeing St. Nick.
He is set up in a quiet living room setting with soft lighting. He will also play on the floor with children.
Parents can go online and reserve a 15-minute session with Quiet Santa, who will be at the mall through Dec.
