Flashback Friday - You scare me drunk Santa.

santa1

Today's Flashback Friday is only from last year. From a distance it may look like the ideal Christmas photo...but if you were there you'd know different. This photo was taken just after Sophia was done crying, and probably between Santa barfing. Last year we decided to take Sophia to the mall to see Santa...and in hindsight we should have known better. Just before Sophia sat on Santa's lap the mall security had to have a talk with Santa. The rent a cop was letting Santa know that his "current state" was unacceptable. We took Sophia up to Santa and she proceeded to cry on Santa's lap. You'd think that Santa would be good with children... well.. not this one. He literally did not move from the position he was sitting. Probably for fear of throwing up all over the children. His eyes were all glazed over, he did not speak... no wonder she was afraid, I think I was too. Anyhoo... in the last moment we got Sophia to smile... she did a great job too... too bad about drunk Santa.

All in all I think Kevin and I were more scarred by drunk Santa then Sophia as she had no problem hopping up on his lap again this year.

Come back next week to see a picture of me when I was a child sitting on Santa's lap... its pretty cute.

Yikes! That is creepy that Santa was drunk! But hey, what a great smile your daughter had! I couldn't even tell she'd been crying!

Not that it should be funny, but that totally reminds me of Uncle Buck when John Candy punches out the clown who shows up for the nephew's birthday dead drunk. My son clearly had tears in his eyes last year, but at least didn't cry and let us get a pic. This year...even with his sister smiling in Santa's lap, he SHRIEKED and wouldn't sit for even a minute.

Okay, that is hilarious! I'm sure it wasn't then, but it definitely makes for a fantastic Flashback! You're daughter looks adorable too. :)
