Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!





I've been a little under the weather, so I haven't been spreading my usual holiday cheer. But this time of year, I usually like to remind my friends and loved ones just how lucky they are. (To be friends with me! Kidding.) So here's a little story about two lovely young ladies whose mother just won't give up a certain embarrassing tradition. Poor things!

(By the way, that adorable, well-behaved child shown above? That's ME! Just look at those boots. Santa's lucky I didn't unleash a butt-kicking right then and there!)

Awww... You look soo cute! But does anyone think the Santa you take pictures with is scary? I was freaked out whenever I took a picture with him! Every picture I looked constipated or something... XD Merry Christmas to all!~

Haha, I am still convinced that all mall Santa's are secretly child-abducting aliens. :D

Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow, like half the little kids in the world are screaming on Santa's lap...

My cousin (age 1) was scared of the Christmas tree. He wouldn't touch it, and he would move away from the tree.

Happy Holidays,Kirsten! Those mall Santas.... *shivers*. Did you know that there is a book out, one of the little square ones full of photos, that only has pitures of little kids on Santa's lap, crying? It's so mean and yet so hilarious!

I've never actually had my picture taken with santa but I only realized it when I read this post! Weird, no?

P.S. Kirsten, I thought if anyone knew it would be you so do you know what a Luska is? I think its some kind of monster, but it was in a book I read (Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia, My absolute favorite book, right after Kiki Strike of course) so the authoer may have made it up but its bugging me.

I never particularly liked sitting on Santa's lap. Then again, I'm not particularly fond of being close to people I don't know.


My sister's photo with Santa was in the local newspaper when she was about seven.

I'm pretty sure that ever since I was three and put on a strangers big red lap that I was sure of three facts:
1. He was not Santa.
2. It's stupid to sit on some weirdos lap...
3. And what the heck were they doing taking a picture of me?

i had my picture taken last year, i was almost 13 then. i swore to myself that would be the last tinme. i was just trying to convince my little brother & sister that there's nothing to be afraid of (maybe i was wrong!)

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I always wave to Santa at shopping centres! I wouldn't mind getting a photo actually. I wanted one, but obviously I'm not young enough.. How unfair!

Aparently at some Mall Santa convention there was a big fight between all of the santas..... and I think the santa in 'A Christmas Story' Is really creepy!!!
