Teri, you’re too much – your story reminds me of the suffrage that these mall Santas go through. They must have knees of steel and plastic covers laps. lol
I thought this image would create some good connections. I was in the Santa line with my two granddaughter. As usual I had my camera out and shooting. Fun to be in the right places.
I hope you and yours have a great holiday and Happy New Year.

I never quite made it to Santa’s lap that first time…I froze with fear and neither mom nor dad could budge me. They gave up; Santa gave me a candy cane and I then proceeded to hurl once we got out to the parking lot. My nephew was once a mall Santa and when I took my two to see them they were stunned “he” knew so much about them. The best of the season to you and yours as well 🙂

Wonderful stories. Thanks for sharing.
My eldest granddaughter, Emily age 8 asked this Santa if he was the real one. His response, “What do you think?” She is doubtful and realizes that not all Santas are real but helping Santa so he can make all the toys necessary for delivery on Christmas eve.

Happy Holidays, Tim. Nice capture. We do have an old family photo of me sitting on Santa’s lap but I looked less than happy!
