It’s almost time for Christmas, so that means the amazing story Andre Johnson playing Santa Claus to a group of less fortunate kids.
Johnson held his annual charity event where he takes a large group of kids from child protective services to Toys”R”Us and allows them 80 seconds to grab and buy whatever they want.

The kids looked like they had an amazing time and this is one of the reasons why the city really wants Johnson to stick around.
Andre is awesome.
