Santa Baby

Santa Baby
Vincent's first Christmas. When he was just over five months old we were determined to make sure he got to see Santa. We realised that the first few years of a childs life it is more about your experience as a parent rather than an experience for the child. Seeing him sitting on Santa's knee (which I hear is unusual these days, companies prefering the child to stand or kneel next to Santa - what is happening to our culture) was such a delight. The Santa wasn't exactly the kind of Santa that I'd have picked though. He was about 23 years old, he was an Aries, and a bit of a flirt (as you can tell, he talked to much). The elf, who was delightful, took a photograph of Vincent and Santa and we left the grotto with me feeling very proud of myself and very proud of my son. When I showed Vincent the photo of him and Santa Claus he got excited, kicking and smiling.
