I saw Santa. . . "WAAAAAH!"

As I walked through the doors of my local mall, two things got my attention- 1) the flyer with the hours listed for a picture with Santa Claus and 2) a childs crying heard somewhere in the distance. A very childish thought came to mind so I ran the idea by my GF. I told her, "Hey, I feel like taking a picture with santa, but not just any picture. I want to take a "crying child " picture with santa. With me sitting on his lap and crying!" Right away she started to somewhat giggle and then (after she noticed that I was not joking) in her serious voice she says, "NO!" Me: "Aww why not? It'll be a ridiculous photo!" Gf: "Why do you want to put the poor guy playing santa through that?" Me: "First off, thats gender racism assuming santa is a guy, women can also be santa now, and secondly, it'll make a great cover for a christmas card from me!" GF: -stares at me with the "peoples eyebrow" while shaking her head no.- Me: "Cool impersonation of the "Rock!" GF: . . . ME: "Sooo . . . no ?" GF: . . . ME: "Okay. Want a pretzel ?" And that was one incident at the mall. I still think it would make a cool christmas card photo. I'm not a big fan or even like christmas at all, but i'm seriously thinking of still doing the photo. "Hee Hee Hee !". . . I mean . . . "Ho Ho Ho !" Picture taken by me, Plethos

You should do it. Or maybe not even a crying photo, but a happy photo. So cute.

I think males and females can be the Santa at a store. I'm certain I wouldn't want to put on the suit, as one of my girl friends use to work as a Santa and the number of times people put their little child on her lap and the baby had a wet diaper was high. She had to change several times one of the days I was at the store.

You should go back and demand to have your picture taken with Santa.
