One of my children loves Santa, and has spent the entire last year talking about him, and thinks he is a swell guy. One of my children thinks he is not to be trusted. Can you tell who feels which way?
These pictures were taken at our ward Christmas party (and I even chose one of the less awkward pictures of Kiddo). Babs walked straight up to him (after waiting what must have been an eternity for a two-year old), and settled in on his lap. She didn't talk to him, but was very content to sit there. She seemed surprised when she was handed a present and had to go.
Kiddo, who had talked about talking to Santa in very positive terms before getting to the party, choose differently once we got there. Until she saw all the other kids with presents (coloring books). Then she found the courage to sit with him. She also did not interact with Santa, but got her gift, and did her duty.
Apparently she's not ready for Santa just yet. (But given
last year's experience, we're making progress!)
