She must have been on the nice list.
A mall Santa got down on one knee and proposed to an Indiana woman on
behalf of her boyfriend, a soldier in Afghanistan, on Tuesday.
Kimberly Roberts sat in Santa's plush green chair at the Eastland Mall
in Evansville, Ind., as her mother hit record on a video camera.
St. Nick asked Roberts for her Christmas wish.
"I want my boyfriend to come home from Afghanistan safe," Roberts said of her then-boyfriend, Clint Underhill.
Santa stroked his beard and told her to hold on a second. He grabbed a
bouquet of red roses from next to his chair and kneeled beside her.
"Kimberly, our time together has been nothing short of amazing," Santa
read off a piece of paper from Underhill. "Not a day goes by I don't
realize how lucky I am to be with you."
Santa opened a white box with a ring as Roberts starts to cry in surprise.
"Yes!" she said to the cheers of the crowd.
Underhill will return from Afghanistan in June, according to WFIE. He thanked his future parents-in-law for their help in organizing it and said he couldn't have done it without them.
