Santa Pictures
Ask any child about Santa and their eyes widen and sparkle and a smile erupts on their face. He brings presents! He has reindeer! He flies in a sleigh! But ask that same child to sit on Santa’s lap (at least if they live in my house) and suddenly Santa is a scary, intimidating character….

This Is the Last, I Swear
