What if Your Tot is Scared of Santa?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't agree with the whole Santa thing.  But sometimes, you gotta be a team player and play along.  I've heard smart remarks regarding my lack of jumping for joy when the fat guy comes around the hood, or if I ask a question about him.  But what do ya expect?  I wasn't brought up that way.  I may not be up on the rules and such.  It doesn't make either of us right or wrong, good or bad.  We just have different opinions.  I think that it's important to respect other peoples belief and traditions.

However despite my anti- Santa thoughts, I'm willing to be a good sport.  I want my daughter to enjoy the holidays.  So if that means having her sit with good 'ol jolly Saint Nick, then I'm in.

When Princess's teacher informed me that Santa was visiting her class, I thought-"perfect."  We missed taking Santa pics these past couple of weeks because she had been feeling a little under the weather.  This would make up for it!  Miss Katherine even offered to take pics, and so did Princess's best friend's mom.

Check it out their reaction!

Apparently, they were both too scared to go near him.  I'm not sure if she's with this whole Santa thing either.  I hope I'm not rubbing off on her.  I asked Princess if she'd like to visit Santa again and sit in his lap for a pic.  She said, "no."  I won't force her to make a choice.  We'll try this again one more time this weekend and see what happens.  If she says no, then this whole Santa thing is a wrap.

P.S. If that's the case, I'll make sure she doesn't ruin it for the other kids.

Is your kid scared of Santa?
