Yeah its that time of the year.... Santa is sitting on his throne in the shopping centres...Kids screaming and crying...Which made me think to write this...
Why do parents Traumatise their poor little kids to go and sit on Santas lap ???
You can see the fear in the kids eyes, yet the parent still persists, and to get a snap shot of their child balling their eyes out..That must be attractive..lol..I think its horrible behaviour on the parents part... I would definantly not force my children to do it...
When you think about it..Santa is quite scarey...Bright red suit, big fluffy beard etc .... You only see him once a year...What are these kids supposed to think...and what about stranger danger,...lol..
Let me know what you think, just for a laugh...
Cheers

Hey...I'm scared of him and I'm not even a kid...
Anytime that I took my kids to see Santa if they didn't want to go near him then they didn't..
Same with my grandkids...They don't want to go near him so that is okay with me...
Now this year the youngest grandson who is 4 actually sat on his lap and posed for the camera..
I don't understand parents who MAKE their kids sit on his lap...or some that have told them they won't get any presents if they don't sit on Santa's lap...Hello..Knock Knock..That is so far from the truth..
No wonder kids are afraid of Santa, the Easter Bunny and such...
Good Post..

I know what fear is so I would never ever put my grandsons in that position EVER..
So how are the little munchkins...Growing up too fast...Give them big hugs from Auntie Feona...xoxo
