We haven't gone for our annual Santa-inspired torment yet. I have to work that into the next couple weekends - I can't believe that I don't have it on a list. Thanks for the reminder.
That was funny! Next thing you know, the politically correct amongst us will outlaw Santa Claus for making kids cry! BTW: The island and lighthouse you were wondering about are in Kaua'i, Hawai'i - Kilawea Lighthouse.
I don't understand why people do this to their children. They are terrorized by their own parents forcing them to sit with a total stranger. "Don't talk to strangers, they could kill you!" then "Here, go sit on this stranger while I walk away".
Happy Wordless Wednesday, Gattina! It is a great post!

Dogs don't do that to our pups. If they start crying we protect 'em. Guess we're different from hoomans. Bark!
These are hysterical. My husband's aunt told our daughter once that these guys aren't the real Santa; they're his helpers because the real Santa has too much work to do on the North Pole. From then on, she had no interest in hanging out with mere staffers!
Hi Gattina, Those poor little kids are petrified of Santa,I have 12 grandchildren and not one of them were forced to sit on Santa knee, we used to stand a distance from Santa and if the kids wanted to see him that was good got some happy photo's . if they cryed we walked away ..
Cute pics. It's understandable really why young children would be afraid of him. I think I would have been frightened to sit on the lap of a strange man with a huge beard, and dressed all in red.
Oh God Santa, you are horrible. Look what you did. You made all those kids cry, not to mention that some peed on their pants -unto your knees ( good for you!). Lol.
This brings me into remembering my son's birthday party, one where he had a mascot. It terrified some kids! And I couldn't help feeling guilty. ;D

ReplyDeleteMy son was frightened too when he was tiny. I wonder why. And this is a universal thing.
Too funny! Those are great shots!
ReplyDeleteSanta ain't all that they heard he was!! LOL! Happy WW! :)

He's a big scary man! I might cry too!
ReplyDeleteMy Wordless Wednesday post is up too! :)
Classics, all of them! I never did the Santa thing. I never trusted the unknown guys beneath the suit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have no spirit :)
Hope you have a wonderful WW. I've posted my contribution here and hope you drop by for a look around:

Oh! I've been there with mine before! Santa is pretty scary when you think about it, but those are adorable photos.
ReplyDeleteThese photos made me laugh. LOL. Glad I didn't have a pic with Santa when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteyep, those were my kids at one time!
ReplyDeletehilarious - I am waiting to see my twins reaction this year.
ReplyDeleteI fixed my WW - technical hitch.
This one had me ROFL. Been through this many times. Cute photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
awwwwwwwwwwwwww yes.....good times. It must rock to be SANTA! :)
ReplyDeletehappy WW!
I love the first picture!Babies are cute even when they are crying!
ReplyDeleteHo, ho, ho!
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry about those poor innocent children, though. Never did that to mine!
Happy WW :)
Perhaps the Ho ho ho sounded just a little too sinister! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThat is such a thankless job. Oh well, at least Santa is still trying to smile.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

ReplyDeleteSometimes that's how I feel about Christmas as well. Thanks for the laughs.
ReplyDeleteAw, the poor little loves. I think I'd be terrified too, if some big, hairy-faced guy grabbed me and made me sit on his knee! Great pics - happy WW!
ReplyDeleteMy WW pics can be seen at Siani's Pot-Pourri.
I could add a pic of my daughter to your collection - the first time she met Santa she was 9 months old and she didn't like him one bit!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. My daughter hates Santa also. Have a good day!!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteCome visit us @ Gabi's World
Gattina! Those are priceless....
ReplyDeleteThe things we do for tradition...

ReplyDeleteLOL! That's about how my kids react to Santa too lol.
ReplyDeleteThose are so funny. We do torture our kids for a picture, don't we? Luckily mine never cried like these!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW

Happy indeed!!! I never got a picture of my kids with Santa. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I don't know whether to bawl with the kids or laugh at the photos. Poor wee li'l babies. And Poor Santa!! Too cute
ReplyDeleteMy candy was that way when she was little.
ReplyDeleteThose are too funny! I feel so lucky my daughter never had one of those moments on Santa's lap.

ReplyDeleteMine is up at 4 Seasons Of My LifeM. Hope you can visit me too.
These are hilarious! The second one looks like he is thinking "They do NOT pay me enough for this!" hahaha Thanks for the laugh!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not proud to admit I did this to my son, too. Made him sit on Santa's lap when he was one...he cried for the next two hours.
ReplyDeleteBut the picture? Priceless ;).
Robin @ PENSIEVE
(Thank you for visiting my WW this week :) ).
LOL!
ReplyDeleteFunny shots! Why is Santa still smiling at the camera?
ReplyDeleteHey I think that's my daughter there in the second picture! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous! We have one like that of my little nephew last Christmas. We're saving it to give back to him when he grows up.
ReplyDeleteBobbie
Thank goodness our grandbaby didn't cry on Santa's lap. These are priceless!
ReplyDeleteI have a few on my wall I could submit! How precious!
ReplyDeleteYep, some little folks don't like that fat old man at all. Great shots Gattina. :)
