But then Easter rolled around and we were in the mall and Squid really was loving the Easter Bunny. So we did the photo. Now it’s Xmas again and all the malls have their Santas out, waiting and ready. I don’t know…should I go for it or not? I think it might be really cute to have, just so I could pull the photo out when Squid is 15 (eek!) and go, Tada! I know I would love to see a pic. of me when I was tiny posing with Santa, even if it was the worst photo ever.

As a kid I used to trip my sister a lot. One day near Christmas a television Santa looked straight out the screen (black and white) at me and scolded, "And you, little boy, quit tripping your sister." Scared the heck out of me and stopped the tripping. Found out later my mom had called in the station and asked them to have the Santa say that. You want creepy?

Ever. They are 6 and 1. They will never go on a mall Santa's lap either. Ew. First I think they're probably pervs, second, I think it takes the magic out of it. Hello, why would Santa be in a hub of consumerism? He has magical elves that make the toys out of the goodness of their little elf hearts! I have never put my kids in a Mall Santa’s lap. Ever.
