Coincidentally (or maybe not), K.C. decided to put Lilly's last picture with Santa up on AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. It was taken two years ago at a family holiday party at my office.
While I'm sure we won't win the holiday picture contest - there are some really, really funny entries you must check out - I thought I'd share anyway.

| “Two years ago I was going through chemo for breast cancer. I really wanted a holiday picture of our family, so at my husband’s company Christmas party we forced our daughter- who is TERRIFIED of Santa to pose for a Polaroid picture. And yes, we’re laughing at her reaction of sheer fright.” |
And extreme zoom for dramatic effect...
Yeah, we're bad parents.
Pretty bad looking Santa. I don't think I would've reacted any differently. If you taught her not to talk to strangers, they don't get much stranger than this guy.
ReplyDeleteApparently this is a pretty common phenomenon... just got a similar photo of my nephew. Maybe it's more proof that mass marketing is potentially evil...?
ReplyDeleteThat is one unhappy little girl. Yeh, I think that's a common reaction to the guy in red.

awww. that's funny. :) I'm sure she'll get over it by her 30's and won't hold it against you two until she's old and feeble. ;) LOL
ReplyDeletebtw - I read a bit on your wife's blog and I have to say what a brave woman! Prayers and Merry Christmas wishes to your whole family!
Mom and Dad sure look happy...
ReplyDeletei was the same way as a child. never went to disneyworld and/or land because strangers in costumes terrified me. enough about costumed adults, as a fellow native philadelphia-arean, lets talk about Cliffmas and Mr. Lee.
ReplyDeleteMy son Tyler is the same way, it is normal

The only problem I see is that you could have held her close enough to get in a kick to the chin ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to the three of you from the Dad family!!!
