Xavier Bennett received 700 cards for Christmas this year

Santa Clause has been busy, making some extra, early stops in Miami, Oklahoma.

Fox23 told you, Xavier Bennett asked Santa for Christmas cards this year, so he can cover his bedroom walls.

It turns out, people from all over the country have stepped up to help. Xavier moved to a new, bigger bedroom, and every inch of his walls are covered in cards. The 5-year-old Miami boy has autism.

Hi mom, Tiffany Hodges, says, “the smile on his face, and the laughter I see, honestly, I mean it’s priceless.” She says Xavier’s gotten around 700 cards from 26 different states. There’s also cards from around 386 different cities in Oklahoma.

A lot of the cards are filled with surprises, like stickers, gifts, money, and more. Xavier says thank you! They may soon start to line cards in the hallways, since his room is almost full.
