Mommy Life: Santa's lap - who started this tradition, anyway?

Christa sent me these in an email:

Love,

Those were great - there was a certain age, maybe 2 or 3, where we have one of those kind of pictures for me and my two sisters. Classic...

Total torture. But I did get a kick out of it.
Merry Christmas!

Very funny, but one of the reasons why I don't take my kids to see Santa!

Evidence Not Seen
World
I've been subscribing to this news magazine for ten years - News from an enlightened, intelligent Christian persepective.

Goops and How to Be Them
A fun way to teach manners!
Read-Aloud Bible Stories
Simple illustrations and prose - lots of rhythm and repetition. And I like the fact that we never see Jesus' face.
The Story of Ping
A lilting and funny story about a little duck who lives with his comically large family on a boat on the Yangtze River in China. One day while searching for food, he finds himself left behind. Bravely, he goes in search of his family, finding many adventures along the way. 3-6
Where's Our Mama?
Such a sweet story! Set in 1910 France, two children who have lost their mama have trouble finding her only because they see her as the best, the wisest, the most beautiful. The gendarme (French policeman) is astonished to find that finally she is just a mama like everyone else's. For fun, read it with your best French accent!
