I took a picture of another kid on his lap, (This is actually Alayna's friend, Carter) just to document that we did indeed go to the Christmas party, Santa was in fact there and I did help decorate this corner (Santa's Corner).
And when I say that my daughter is terrified of Santa, I really mean she is terrified of him. In fact, when he first entered the room, we were standing right by the door that he entered, and my friend told me that she missed her kids' reaction to him because she was completely caught up in watching Alayna freak out and run to me.
There was NO way she was going to sit on his lap or even go near him. In fact, it was a miracle that she even let me carry her to get a treat bag. Mind you, there were still tears, but she did get a treat bag.
Since seeing him, she does not want to watch any of our Santa Clause movies (which she used to watch all the time) and she informed me the other day at the store that she does not want him to come to our house. I then told her that he only comes when we're sleeping so she won't have to see him.
I think her opinion of him might change come Christmas morning. :)
