Merry (you have to pay for it) Christmas! Bah Humbug! We went to the mall and I thought, “ I don’t think Mason has ever “met” Santa, so I took him to a special storefront room they set up for the kids to come in and see him. I think it’s a joke they won’t let you take a picture of your kid with Santa and that if you want a photo, the least you can pay is $15. Dumb. So, I let Mason meet him and when he asked Mason what he want, he just stared at him blankly. I helped him out a bit, “cars.” And after that, Mason kept repeating “cars, cars.” They gave him a cute little paper bear ears Santa hat and a sucker from See’s Candy and called it good.
A few years ago I had a run-in at this same Mall (University Mall in Orem, UT) with their Santa. It was when Jared was a toddler and we didn’t have enough money to pay for pictures, so I tried to get him to take a picture with Santa and they told me I could take one but that Santa couldn’t look at my camera because the flash would hurt his eyes. What a load of crap. At least have the nerve to own it if you’re being a Scrooge….right? After that I swore off mall Santa’s until now and looks like it was a repeat of the same situation. Lame.
Anyway, it was worth a try and in my little rebellion, I took this picture of Mason with the lovely Mall Santa in the background. Merry Christmas Santa!
