Today we took Dorrian to see Santa at our local mall. As in we I mean everyone. Grandma, grandpa, uncle, mommy, daddy and of course Dorrian. We brought our camera so that I could shoot some photos of him on Santa's lap. Now keep in mind, I have never done this whole "Santa thing" so I didn't know what to expect. We got up there, the line was short which was good news. But at the same time crazy because there was a good traffic of people there. Which never happens because the mall here never gets business because everything is closing down. Any who, My husband brought out his camera and the little helper asked us if we were buying a package. We all looked at each other confused. My husband spoke up and said, "No, we are just going to take our own photos." Well, the little helper told us that we could not take our own photographs unless we buy their package. I have never heard of this before in my life. Whenever I was little, Wal-mart would pay for a Santa to sit back in the garden center and I would go see him for FREE. Now it is all different. So we caved in and bought the package. Now picture package in your head. You are thinking maybe 5 decent size photos right? Not this package. This package costed us 25 buckaroonies. We got one 3x5 and 4 wallet size photos. HA! Maybe it would of been worth it if they weren't so crude on photographs. The Santa Clause they hired didn't even ask any of the children the traditional, "What would you like for Christmas?" He sat up there, held the children and had the "Next!" attitude. I just couldn't believe it. The man that was handling money for the packages tried to scam my husband 10 bucks as well. Well sorry Noerr Events, I will not be doing business with you again. Not even if you are the only Santa in town. I can gladly dress up like Santa myself and do a cute background and take my own photos, FOR FREE.
Anyways, now that I got that rant out of my mind. Here is Dorrians photo. He cried. Oh boy, did he cry. I knew he would. He doesn't do well with strangers. Especially strangers with big white beards. It was adorable. He was the only child to cry as well, which was funny.
There ya go! My little fella. I thought it was adorable. Even if he is crying. Although, I probably would be crying as well. I never really enjoyed sitting on Santa's lap. I hated the attention.
After we left the mall we went to grab a bite to eat. Dorrian met a friend there, they were waving at each other from across the restaurant. It was adorable. The little old man loved Dorrian and thought he was the cutest little thing. As the man was leaving he came up to Dorrian and gave him his chocolate cookies that came with his meal. He claimed he was "watching his figure." Hahah! But anyways if you are reading this sir that gave us the chocolate cookie. It resulted in this.
Oh boy did he love it! Now he is all hyper from the chocolate. So thanks. :p
Well, this was a swell post if I do say so myself. Four more days until Christmas. Seems as though this month is just flying by.
Thank you readers for reading!
Stay warm and cozy!
Lesson of the Day: If your local Santa Clause is anything like mine was. Dress your husband or any man up as Santa and take your own.
