Not Yet Ready for Santa [Contest Finalists November 2012]
Uploaded: November 25, 2012 15:35:01
While our daughter was home for Thanksgiving, we took the opportunity to bring our grandson to Santa's House in Decatur, Illinois' Central Park. Mrs. Claus sometimes joins Santa in visiting with the kids. Only one family is allowed in the house at a time...so we had "quality" time with Santa.

Thanks for looking, Joy. #10433600Nikki McDonald November 26, 2012
Santa's expression is just as great as the kid's - Santa looks as if he's so sorry about making him cry. I think I feel sorrier for Santa than for your grandson. #10434541Terry A. Stoa November 27, 2012
Yes, Nikki - I agree. I was lucky to capture this Santa-encounter. He's a "good" Santa. #10435516Mitch Spence December 28, 2012
