Let’s face it, most of us are scoffers. But moments before zero hour, it did not pay to take chances.*

It’s that time of year when I get out the “Visit to Santa” photos. They are pretty special. There is undoubtedly a blog or Tumblr somewhere entitled “Unfortunate Visits to Santa” or “Ugly Children Visit Santa”. Here are a few classics from our family.
Oy Vey, Santa had a bad night before this dual personality’s visit:
Only a toddler husband could count what he wanted on his fingers!
Even Santa thought daughter #1 was ADORable!
The next year, the same Santa thought daughter #1’s new brother was pretty cute too.
When her mother finally took this neglected third child to see Santa, she didn’t notice there was a giant hole in her red tights! So sad…
*Anyway, these pictures remind me that it is probably time to watch one of our favorite Christmas movies: A Christmas Story (1983)–Bob Clark’s hilarious re-telling of Jean Shepherd’s story “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash”.
Bumpuses!! Have a great weekend! Only 19 days ’til Christmas!

We are ALL pretty adorable!
ABsolutely!
Adorable, adorable children! and don’t you wish you had a pink velvet sofa, too?
The pink velvet sofa was at the tacky Galleria. Susie’s picture was at the much more tasteful Plaza Frontenac–which made the hole-y tights that much worse!
“I can’t put my arms down!!!” “Well, put them down when you get to school.”
I’m guessing that Mater Mary C made CRC’s smocked dress? Too bad about the hideous pink couch but one doesn’t really notice since photos are so darn cute. My kids were repeatedly depicted wearing their snow boots since it seems we always had to trek through slushy parking lots to get to Santa. Thanks for digging out the pics and Have a Holly Jolly.
Yes, and she also made Mary’s red jumper and tyrolean blouse outfit.
