DS isn't the biggest fan of Santa. To be fair, he's pretty shy and it takes him awhile to warm up. I think if we could hire Santa to come play with him for awhile, they'd be best friends  Anyway, our neighborhood had its breakfast with Santa event yesterday and we were hoping he'd want to sit with Santa. Here's his reaction to him when we got to the front of the line. Not so sure...  Santa offered him a high five, which was a good call.  Then we thought maybe he'd sit on his lap for a goodie bag. NOPE.  I'm happy with the high-five pic being our "official" santa pic this year if it needs to be, though! We have a really good, gentle Santa at our mall and I might let him warm up to him by circling his little village, waving to him, etc. a few times to see if he might want to really visit with him. Ok, your turn! Show me your cute Santa pics from this year or your favorite ones from years gone by!  |

I don't have a picture to share just wanted to say the high five picture is cute. I would use it for the official Santa picture because it's different then everyone else's ordinary sitting on Santa's lap picture.

I can't figure out how to add a photo from my ipad without uploading it to another site first, lol. But your pics are cute, and I was going to share one of Santa giving my little one a high five to try to win his trust, too Your pics are adorable! |

The high 5 is really sweet. DD wouldn't have anything to do with Santa for a couple of years and would physically turn away from him if we passed him in the mall. When she was 2 1/2 and DS 1, we had a Santa with a couch at one of the malls. It was early, no one else was around and Santa offered to let the kids sit on the couch and while he wandered off. When the kids were comfortable, he leaned in behind them and I got my photo  . |

LOVE the high five one too. No pics. Too lazy to look. DS never liked the Santa thing-or anything in costume or animtrontics either. He says now it was he knew the costume was a cover-up of someone underneath but didn't know who. And non-live things just shouldn't be moving on their own unless there was a remote control to play with. He's a teen now, so he is over it but remembers!

Very cute picture!
Last dear my granddaughter was really afraid of Santa but the one at our mall is fantastic, we took her twice the first time there was no line so he spent a lot of time with her and he read her a book, the second time we got her to sit on his lap, it was a very forced smile but we got one lol.
This year she is three and she was very excited to go. Here is the picture of her and her sister.

I don't have any pics to share.
My kids were never into sitting with Santa for a pic, and it was not a battle I was willing to pursue.
Cute pics all who posted them! I love seeing them.

DS hates clowns too! He's really not a fan of anyone in costume. I bet if he saw Curious George that would be ok, though! Love all the Santa pics Thanks for sharing them with us!! |

Love the photos! High five one is too cute!
I don't have one to share because it's on an ornament. I loved it so much when we had it done that I spent the extra $$ and had it turned into one. It is still one of my faves.
Older son is maybe 5 and younger one is not quite 2. Older one is making the oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-my-brother-is-carrying-on-like-this-but-I'll-smile-because-that's-what-you-do-on-Santa's-lap face and younger one is hysterically crying and reaching for me. I love it.
And for the record, he stopped crying right after and never had a problem w/Santa in the years that followed, so the emotional scarring was minimal.
