Angelo, thanks for the reminder to dig out my old 1970s Santa photos next time I'm back home in Seattle. Wonderful memories of going to Seattle's art-déco department store emporium "Frederick & Nelson's" to marvel at the Xmas displays and tell Santa what marvels we would love to find under the tree... Take care, Michael
Checked with mom: She said she took me once when I was 2 or 3 and I stood there and screamed at the sight of Santa, so she never tried again. She figured it wasn't worth putting me through that a second time.
I appreciate that she didn't plop me on the scary man's lap and insist on a picture anyway.

OK, what's with the albino Santa in the last frame?
I don't think I have any pictures of me with Santa. Mom may have given up trying by Kid No. 3.
It looks like Santa wasn't popular on a few of these, and on the others well.... Santa looked like he had a few too many sips of something.

I couldn't love these pics/post more.

Screamingly funny. The whole Santa thing is a little weird anyway when you think about it.
