New Orleans Santa Claus inspires the best Twitter thread of the holiday season

Did we find the real Santa?

Did we just find the real Santa Claus?

One adorable New Orleans Santa has been dutifully taking pictures with children for decades. He's appeared in so many pictures with children, in fact, that Twitter user 504Reminisce says that there's a "9/10" chance that if you're from NOLA, you have a picture with him.

Other users were quick to agree, and started one of the most joyful tweet threads you'll see this holiday season, each sharing precious childhood pictures with the same Santa Claus from school visits and trips to the mall.

Here are just some of the many adorable pictures shared with this same Santa:

If Santa is real, Twitter may have just found him.

Mashable has reached out to 504Reminisce for further comment.
