Santa Trauma

It was a tradition in my family to visit Santa each year and have our picture taken.  We continue that tradition in our family.

In my younger years I (almost) always smiled in the Santa picture, but never cried.  My younger sister, Stacy, was NOT OK with Santa on any level.  She cried at the sight of the guy and screamed when made to sit on his lap.

So it makes me laugh to see my children follow the pattern my sister and I established many years ago.

And you know what they say, "Tis the season to be jolly...unless of course you are sitting on a stranger's lap."
