This is my daughter's first year of really understanding Christmas, and it's been a lot of fun watching her excitement and joy as Christmas approaches. One of the things that a parent always wonders about when their child is old enough to "get it", is how their child will deal with Santa. Noelle was great. Everytime we went to the mall in December, she wanted to go see Santa. We would stand outside the picture-taking area, and she would stand there for a long time, watching what Santa was doing. One of the first times, Santa had to go to the bathroom, so he walked away from his chair and walked right up to Noelle. I didn't know how she would react to see him that closely, but he came up and shook her hand, and she's been fascinated with Santa ever since. Of course, there are those children who are deathly afraid of Santa, and when we had Noelle's picture taken with him (she did great), there were several kids in line who did not do so great.
So in celebration of these children, I offer this link, which contains many a picture of kids scared of Santa. Enjoy!

Those are great! My mom has a picture of me crying like that Kristen never cried ..she just refused to go near him so she's always sitting on a chair next to him
There are some scary looking Santas in those pictures..no wonder they're crying
Number 7 photo is one of the best looking hung over Santa's I've seen! When I think of New York Santa's - that's what I think of :0). Number 11 is a good one too. I have to say I've never seen a Santa that cried! :0)
Love this link!
Yeah, I love that Santa - he seriously looks like he's about to fall over and pass out. :D
