as we all settle in for a nice cozy christmas eve, i thought i'd sign off with a last "scared of santa" gallery and a wish of peace and love to all of you.
Oh, man! That reminds me! My cousin was afraid of Santa. We used to tease him every Christmas. "Santa's comin' tonight...Santa's comin' tonight..." He'd run screaming home to mama. Good times.
Somewhere I have a picture of my son absolutely angered at having to sit in Santa's lap. (He had waited too long in line and was so over the experience that year.) He was all of three in 2001, and strongly attached to a stuffed doll, Seamus. So I said to my son: "C'mon Seamus wants a nice shot with Santa, help Seamus out, man." And my son holds Seamus up to the camera for a pose with Santa and unleashes the biggest crying jag I've ever seen. It's one of my favorite Santa photos of him. The passion and conviction of his indignant anger is palpable...

Man, I would love to know the backstory on the sobbing adult (assuming it's not a staged photo).
Merry Christmas, Todd.

Oh man - my mom has one of those of me from '78. I had forgot that I was scared of Santa:) I'll have to see if I can get it to share.
Hope all of you had a great holiday.

My mom, my daughter and I spent probably close to 2 hours tonight looking for that picture of me with Santa to no avail.
