It was Christmas day of 2009 when my son met Santa for the first time.He was only 1 1/2 years old then and did not care about him or anybody else in that night.All he cared about was to play and run around the place. I love to see the look in his eyes when Santa put him on his lap .He stared at him wondering who was this white bearded starnger.
After 2 years he met him again but this time it was not Christmas yet .We were doing the grocery shopping last Sunday after church and he was there in one corner of the store sitting and waiting for children to have a picture with him .The store has a staff in charge for the photo shot for a free 5x7 picture .The staff was so nice and actually gave me 2 copies,one is with border the other one without. I told my eldest son to sit right beside Santa so he can have a remembrance too like his little brother but he refused saying he is already big enough to do that .I guess it is time for me to accept that he is now a teen ager.How time flies so fast.
on flashbacking, when I was a child I've been wanting to sit on the lap of santa claus and ask gift! Thanks for hopping on my blog. happy blogging! :-)
ReplyDeletewhen my eldest was still a toddler, we have a picture with Santa where dad and I were both smiling and she was shedding big tears! She was afraid of Him!
ReplyDeleteLast year though, she saw Him again, near the grocery, and was the one who insisted of taking a photo with Santa!
Indeed, time flies so fast.
Your younger son and my son still get mesmerized by Santa. I wonder how I would feel when my son becomes a teenager and he doesn't want any more photo opps with Santa. Sigh! Thanks for visiting my MM entry!
ReplyDeletedito super mahal magpa picture ky santa hehehe n$25 yata nabayaran namin last year , i dunno this year kung nag increase na ba.
ReplyDelete@shydub ,ang mahal naman.kinunan ko rin nga ng picture ang anak ko .yung pala may libre naman silang copy .promo siguro nila yon para sa phto studio nila.
ReplyDelete@tetcha , iba na talaga pag malaki ,ayaw na tumabi ke santa at ayaw na ring hinahawakan ko pag naglalakad kami or kinikiss ko
@ nicquee,yeah ,ang bilis ng panahon
@psychables,wala akong matandaan na Santa nung maliit ako,wahh
thank you all for the visit.
cute kids meeting santa! :) my daughter only met a "man portratying santa" once. she is fascinated with santa every time, but because she knows that santa is not real, she doesn't really mind if she won't have a picture with him! LOL
ReplyDeleteLots of wondering there in his eyes while sitting on Santa's lap. The Santa experience is a nice one for kids, although some might think otherwise :D
ReplyDeleteang cute nga ng reaction ng baby mo, hehe.. Baka ngayon makaintindi na yung kid mo, hanap na yung ng maraming gifts :)
ReplyDeletelate visiting from MM. Thanks a lot for dropping by my blog..
LOL! Nice pic of your son's wondering look, hehe. I'm pretty sure we all have pictures of us when we were younger sitting on Santa's lap. I remember mine and I know my two kids have theirs as well. It's like tradition.
ReplyDeletemeeting santa in person is something all kids would remember until they grow up! :d
ReplyDeleteLooks like he is frowning at Santa hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI am as excited now because it will be daughter's first Christmas,though it is sad because her Daddy will not be here with us.But that loneliness is overpowered by my excitement and I am also looking forward to her meeting Santa someday(wink, wink!)
