Even Santa Was a Baby

Dear Henry, 
You're the cutest Santa EVER!

Proof #1... We took you to the mall to visit your first Santa.  He was NOT the real Santa!  He was a clear impostor.  He was devoid of any jolly or ho, ho, ho.  Frankly he looked and acted as if he were on drugs.  His elf helpers even told Mommy and Daddy that the real Santa works weekdays and they were about over this poser as well.  We put you on his lap and YOU, YOU! of all babies in the world, a baby that has never cried when someone new is holding you, YOU STARTED CRYING ON SANTA CHARLATAN CLAUS' LAP!!!  You gave him a chance but he didn't even talk to you.  When you started crying he just sat there.  Then you just twisted and turned and tried to get away from him and back into Daddy's arms.  He didn't even bluff a tiny corner smile.
It wasn't until you started to claw at him to show us how dire the situation was that he even looked at you.Your entire experience lasted just 2 minutes and it ended with not even a candy cane.  The elves promised if Mommy brings you back during a week day to meet the REAL Santa we could get a new photo taken.  I believe we will do this tomorrow or Tuesday.  These are photos I took from my hip to document the occasion.  This "Santa" was for the birds!

A couple of days later Mommy decided to take some photos of you as Santa.  Clearly this is the final proof that it is fact, not opinion, that you are the cutest Santa EVER!



 
Tis the Season, 
Love, Mommy
