My son will be 9 months at christmas this year - maybe next year I'll get into it!? I find since I emigrated to Australia I just don't care anymore - something about it being 30 degrees on Christmas day really takes the holiday spirit out of me! We'll be in Canada as of the 15th of Dec so maybe that will get me into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1961914 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:38:23 +0000 catomd00 1961914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: omg that pic eeww! Kind of just solidified that I don't want my kid on any creepy Santa's lap!!!</p> <p>Eta - awwww just saw your pic with dd and so cute! I now take my previous statement back lol! So conflicted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1961912 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:36:27 +0000 Mae 1961912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: so cute!</p> <p>@MrsRcCar: you should od before and after ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1961908 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:34:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 1961908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is my boys with Santa before the screams. </p> [attach=2880/14/nfo19c.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1961907 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:32:47 +0000 lilyann 1961907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha, she will love to look back on this picture! My mom took us too and I like looking at those! </p> <p>My son was NOT impressed with his first picture with Santa!

But Santa and Christmas magic definitely have a place in our house :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960248 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 16:23:24 +0000 Ash 1960248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: bahahah! SANTA!</p> <p>totally doing Santa pics even though I'm not big on the idea of "Santa". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960197 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 16:04:22 +0000 Raindrop 1960197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done it every year (2 years now). We actually did it twice last year because the first one was so bad... but now we are living with year 2 crying pictures (he cried both times!) that we will use to haunt LO when he's older. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960176 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 15:54:18 +0000 coopsmama 1960176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: no words but EWWW! :shocked: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960163 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 15:46:26 +0000 Mae 1960163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: @Caly: #sorrynotsorry ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960099 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 15:14:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 1960099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pictures with Santa are a 'must' for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa/page/2#post-1960070 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:57:13 +0000 Caly 1960070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: THAT.

He drives down the street on a fire truck and then sits patiently with every kid in the neighborhood who wants a picture with him. His elves are even "trained" to sneak a chat with mom and dad before the child sits down on his lap. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960061 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:54:35 +0000 Espion 1960061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to, only because we've never gotten formal pictures done. And he was so cute last year! (I take a zillion pictures, but we've had any done as a family.). Maybe Santa would go for everyone being in the picture? Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960058 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:53:44 +0000 Mae 1960058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, speaking of Santa pics. My friend sent me this pic of his nephew with Santa and OMG. Zoomed in to crop out faces and zero in on the issue. </p> <p>When you see it..... Lol! </p> [attach=4140/14/nfm1xk.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960057 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:53:36 +0000 lilyann 1960057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gone to the mall a couple of times this month and Santa is always sitting there by himself. I've taken DS (2) to go talk to him and he thinks it's so cool! We are getting the boys picture with Santa done this weekend! We have done them every year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960055 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:53:07 +0000 Bao 1960055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we will go, but if LOs aren't feeling it we won't push it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960048 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:50:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1960048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: thanks for that info about the pics! I figure it's still good for the mall to have us come in, right? I'll probably end up buying food or a drink or Christmas presents even if I take my own santa pic. If it was $5 I'd just buy it but for $20, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960045 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:47:23 +0000 yin 1960045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't a big deal for me, but DH wanted to start the tradition early. I never went to visit Santa when I was a kid, but then my parents barely celebrated the holiday. DH has great memories of waiting to see Santa, and he wants our kids to experience it too. DS1 thinks Santa is pretty magical. </p> <p>Oh and we totally cheat and only take pictures with our camera. At my mall you are not obligated to purchase photos and can just visit. You are allowed to take photos outside the gated area. Each year they are more lax and allow parents to take photos with their own cameras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960044 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:47:13 +0000 shinymama 1960044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yes! Feast your eyes on my child. I love that Santa played along. {He only cried on his lap, and stopped immediately after.} </p> [attach=4292/14/nfm1mq.366x600.Santa.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1960034 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:43:55 +0000 Greentea 1960034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really into it. Kid loves Christmas but we don't really do Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1959996 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:31:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1959996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WE do at my work Christmas party every year and then again in the small town celebration that the in laws live in. (only 200 people in the town ha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1959981 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:25:24 +0000 pui 1959981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty indifferent. I'm probably not going to tell my DD about Santa except as a story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pictures-with-santa#post-1959960 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:12:52 +0000 Mamasig 1959960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: if you go during the week the line usually isn't too bad. Also check out other places besides the mall. My local fire station does Santa pics as well as the Bass Pro shop and Cabelas. </p>
