What age is it when kids are not afraid or embarrassed to sit on Santa's lap? Our culture has painted and maintained this image that "Santa" is a pleasantly plump life size teddy bear. Who, if you're good, will bring you what ever your heart's desire (within reason or within the family budget). All you have to do is sit on his lap, let your parents get that oh so cute picture of you and Old Saint Nick then whisper a few tangible items in his ear. Why is it so hard for our kids to grasp the idea? Isn't it ironic that an entire photo book has been printed of children freaking out while Santa tries to maintain his composure and friendly image?Mr. & Mrs. Clause came to Grandpa Mitch's house to visit all the grand kids. Either the kids (Isabelle) were terrified or they were completely shy and hesitant to sit with the old man. Eventually Grandpa got on his lap to show everyone how it's done. Maybe we'll have better luck next year!

Aviry still doesn't like to do it. The only way she will is if we do it with her.
