An elderly shopper with a white beard and a red shirt was accidentally mistaken for Father Christmas by a little girl in the sweetest case of mistaken identity we’ve ever seen. <br /> <br />But instead of revealing that he was not in fact good old Saint Nick, he kindly played along. <br /> <br />He crouched down to ask the shy child whether she had been good this year – and asked what she would leave out for Father Christmas. ‘Cookies!’ she quickly replied. <br /> <br />The pair also enjoyed discussing her pretty ring and Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer. <br /> <br />Oh, if you were wondering what this kindly man’s real name is – it’s Nigel.
