Spreading Christmas Cheer - Awkward Santa Photos

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

We have enjoyed reading a number of sentimental, poignant and heartfelt posts this month, but we both remarked, we're missing some Christmas Cheer. It's time to lighten up. 

 

Therefore, we're going to have a little fun in the days leading up to Christmas. Since we can both be a bit irreverent, these two photos of family children on Santa's lap made us laugh and laugh. We hope they tickle you too. 

 

The first is our granddaughter Raegan visiting what appears to be Santa, fresh out on parole. It reminds us of the line in Elf, "You smell like beef and cheese...you don't smell like Santa!" 

 

 

This second one is of our nephew's three children. We think it's a wonderful capture of "real life." 

 

 

Feel free to add your own captions to the photos. The more the merrier. And to steal another line from Elf, "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

Sometimes those awkward Santa photos are the best around.  At my house it's a memorable awkward Easter bunny photo.

I played Santa for over 30 years and this gave me the most precious moments and some of the saddest moments of my life. Someday I will blog about it again but thank you for reminding me how special a moment in time can be...

Merry Christmas to you and yours Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, During my so-called celebrity days as a Radio Broadcaster, I did a lot of work with childrens' organizations. I know too well of the sad stories and sad moments - but they I do not regret one moment of being there. D

I'm pretty certain all of these children are on Santa's Nice list.  They are sweeties.

Thanks for these very real Santa photos, Debb and Bernie.  I'm sure the parents were not happy campers.

Debb, how fun, and remember those days when the daughter was afraid of the man in RED.

Yes, I was for a time. I'd still be afraid of the one that poor little Rae is visting in the top photo. Lol.

Kids and Santa can be an interesting experience. I put in a good word for you when I met with Santa.
