Share Your Tips - Santa Claus is Coming!
December 18th 2007 by Dr.MOZ in Parenting, Holidays
It’s that time of year again everyone! You know…the time of year when we ruin a kid’s perfectly good day surrounded by toys and candy, only to hand them over to a Carny in a red suit. See hundreds more of these horrifying (and hilarious) scary Santa shots at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s “Scared of Santa” gallery and Metromix’s “Even More Scared of Santa” photo archive.
Do you have a good tip for keeping our kids calm during a Santa visit? If so, click on the comments bubble above to share it!
Have fun and stay healthy,

Ha, these shots are great! As for tips, I’d recommend telling your kids that they are going to “take a picture” with Santa. I think that some kids are told that they are going to “see Santa” and then get freaked out when the parents suddenly pick them up and hand them off.

That’s a good tip Mrs T…I can see how a toddler wouldn’t expect a Santa sighting to evolve into an in-store photo shoot. Being surrounded by dozens of other crying kids doesn’t exactly help set the stage for the event either.
