Had to Share! Anyone Else Going? Posted: 11-15-07 10:45am
My mum and I took Jay to see Santa at the
big shopping mall today! It was so cute!
Ive never bothered before because I
thought he was too young to understand or
be very interested, hes 4 now and this is
the first year he really knows what its
all about, its so exciting for him
We went with one of his best friends from
pre-school, Nicole, and her mum. We didnt
have to queue up long thankfully. Santa's
elf called us into the room, Jay stood
infront of him and answered his questions
(name? have you been good? what do you
want for christmas? etc) then me and nanny
moved out the way while the machine in
there took a picture.
Im so pleased the picture came out great!
Hes smiling in it and so adorable. I
bought 2! Im going to frame one to go on
the wall somewhere, and the other will go
in a photo album. They are A-5 size I
think, so not huge but big enough.
Santa gave him a present which we let him
unwrap back in the car. Its different
coloured paper and some zig-zag cutting
scissors, hes sat at his table right now
doing his arty stuff. We were only in
there for 2 minutes but It was so good, im
really glad we went. The kids were so
excited.
Anyone else taking their kids this year?

i want to take finn but it's too
expensive. i took him last year and left
without even getting in line when i saw
the price. i know he has no idea what's
going on but i wanted to get his picture
with santa every year.
i'm glad you all had fun!

Aw thats a shame Bridget. At this one it
was FREE to see Santa and get a present,
you just pay afterwards if you want the
photo. It was $10.33 for 1 photo or $15.50
for 2.

it's free just to sit with him so i will
take him when he's older and knows who
santa is. but the pictures were
outrageous, i think the cheapest was $22.

I'm not sure if we are or not. It seems to
get more spendy every year. I know here
it's like 25$ a picture. Or something like
that. Where my mom works they old a free
santa, cake walk, and games for the kids,
and thats where i've taken her for the
last 3 years.

Not only no... HELL no. Here's why.
1. Too expensive.
2. Alyvia cries when strangers try to
touch/grab/hold her.
3. A guy Aaron went to school with was
Santa a couple of years ago. He's a pervy
guy. Eww.
That's okay. We'll just write out
Christmas lists and make homemade cookies
for him when she gets older. And also do
the Toys for Tots thing!

My husband's company Christmas party is in
a couple of weeks and they are going to
have a Santa. Cheyenne will only be 3.5
months old, but I think it will be cute to
get her picture taken with him. The Santa
is going to be a guy that my husband works
with, so that won't make it quite so
creepy. Plus, you can bring your own
camera and take your own picture; so it
won't cost us anything.
