McKenzie Doig has always treasured her yearly meeting with this particular Santa Clause, called Mr Kringle and has no plan to bring their meetings to an end, even though it now seems creepy.

Doig revealed to ABC News during an interview:

"My mom, the only thing she ever wants for Christmas...is that I sit on Santa's lap, In high school it was really embarrassing, but now I think it's really funny."

McKenzie reportedly embraced the tradition after a couple of tries, according to her mother who explained to ABC News, saying:

"The first couple of years I took her to the different malls, she wouldn't have anything to do with him though. When she was three she finally went zooming up to him."

Mr Kringle eventually changed malls, moving to a different location but the Doig's managed to track him down.

"We luckily ended up finding him by one of the photographers there," Doig said. "He gave us his phone number so we could contact him once a year."
