We've seen a few crying and anxious kid-on-Santa's-lap pictures over the years. When the subject was broached with Drew this year, he flatly declined to go anywhere near Santa, let alone sit and chat with him. However, when Drew spotted a huge billboard by our house advertising "Fishmas" at the aquarium with "Diver Santa," he changed his tune and had a great time. Unfortunately, the folks with the camera (who charge $6.50 apiece for each picture) wouldn't take the real shot of the day-- Drew holding Evan, as Evan cranes his neck to stare quizzically behind him at diver santa. Instead, they took this picture of Evan looking like an astronaut:
Drew's Santa ambivalence returned as we started to hang our stockings tonight. He looked at me very very seriously, and asked, "Does he stay? I mean, once he fills the stockings and eats the snack? I really don't want him here that morning. Just the night before. Ok???"
