I can't seem to get my head on straight now that it's December. <br /><br />I had no idea kids were afraid of Santa. I never visited a Santa, because my Grandparents told me early on that Santa was there for kids to enjoy Christmas, but not for anything more than symbolism. Later, I learned it was a way to turn Christmas into a commercial success. I grew up knowing there was no Santa, no Easter Bunny, and no Tooth Fairy. Some might think I missed out on my childhood, but I think it's why I'm so BRUTALLY honest. <br /><br />Looks like the kids caused YOU (and me too) to smile this week, even though they frowned.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-88738672662077726392014-12-06T01:38:35.812+00:002014-12-06T01:38:35.812+00:00Hi Annie.

It´s no wonder when they are wary of Santa. But the photos are great all the same. They must all be getting so excited now. have a wonderful time together.

I love the pics of your grands meeting Santa though I do think some of the very little ones find him a little frightening to begin with. None more so than my own son who, at 2 years old, screamed in terror when St Nicholas(Sankt Nikolaus)offered him a sweet in a German supermarket. I don't know who was more taken aback, St Nicholas, who looked rather grand in his red and gold bishop's robes, or us! The girls look fabulous with their painted faces. Have a lovely weekend.

They were eager to tell them their wants.

My child was ALWAYS a reluctant Santa visitor..he's too big a thing in their heads, stranger, pressure to enjoy - I don't know why but we stopped offering in the end...strange huh! I'm not linking Annie because my post is very much a review, despite the hilarity that I enjoyed with the products..if it's not against your rules, then I'll be happy to, of course!Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.com
