And you thought your kid was the only one

I remember one year, for some unknown reason, being absolutely terrified of the mall Santa. I refused to take a picture with him. So my parents sent out Christmas cards with my two sisters and Santa sans myself.


What is it about Santa in the mall that scares kids so much? I mean the man is asking you what you want. He wants to give you free stuff! All you have to do is sit on his lap, take a picture with him, and tell him what you want and he gives you candy afterwards. OK...now that I put it that way that sounds creepy...I get it now.

Anywho, don't feel bad whether it was you as a child or your very own children you/they are not alone when it comes to fearing Santa. See below.
