They write little letters and draw pictures and leave out milk and cookies. They make false promises to behave, and clean their rooms, and they swear up and down that they will be virtual angels if Santa brings them their presents. But when they're actually confronted by the Kringlenator?
You're definitely on to something. Last year, my niece had her picture taken where she's sitting, looking at the camera and behind her, Santa is peaking in the window. My brother and parents all thought it was so cute.
I was the only one that thought it was creepy, stalkerish and generally just disturbing. I worry about what this year's will look like.
Also, yeah, the guy whose lap you're plopping your kid down could be a pedophile and maybe he's not only getting a line up of kids but he's being PAID to grope them. That's got to be like a pedophile's dream job.
And just think, all year you tell your kid not to go with strangers...unless he's in a Santa costume and then it's okay.
Well at least we know YOUR kids wont be scared of Santa Coy.
I mean, they live with a fat white guy with wierd facial hair who loves games and action figures and is RIGHT on their wave length (til they get to like, 14 then they'll be too mature for you to talk to).
Ho Ho Ho!
Happy Christmas!
Oh stop with the "whatever festival you celebrate" crap too. Christ, that annoys me. I dont care if you dont celebrate christmas, thats your choice, but ffs, stop trying to steal our holiday you bastards!
The earliest surviving description of a camera comes from 1490, from Leonardo da Vinci. It was called a camera obscura, and was basically a giant dark room that light entered through a hole on the wall and projected an inverted color image on the opposite wall. It was then traced onto paper or canvas.
Sorry. I'm a photographer. I need to know these things. :duck:

I **knew* that five years getting a LibArts degree would come in useful one day!
Camera Obscura just means a hidden room and we had rooms way before old Leo tried to claim that he invented them. Along with paper, custard and everything else he ripped straight out of somebody elses notebook..

"If you ever wanted a free baby? Get a Santa Suit. Seriously. You'll have so many that you'll have to stack them like cordwood in the corner..."
Hmmmm, as cold as it has been the past two days, and with my feet feeling like they are encased in ice, I have but one question to ask . . . how many BTU's are in a 3-year-old?
