olivia and Santa

Santa came out and gave all the kids a present and they each got their photo taken with him. Olivia refused to sit down and the other photo I have of her with Santa shows a more traumatised girl, so I won't humiliate her further by blogging that one. But she has grown hey. The Santa thing was done by age, which was ingenious because the older ones, who were still a bit unsure (i.e Alex) saw that you got a present if you went up and willingly sat on the knee of a oddly dressed stranger bearing sweets. Mmm, doesn't this go against all that' stranger danger' advice we attempt to scare the pants off them with - no wonder kids today are freaked out about Santa.
