Why?

Why is it
that we encourage
our children
to sit on a stranger's lap
and when they hesitate
we try to bribe them
with candy?

  2. I have often wondered this myself...as well as many different things about Santa. I guess I need to get more into the spirit of the magic of it all...Need to remember childhood a bit! :-)

    We have not yet taken the kids anywhere to sit on Santa's lap, but he does go to their daycare, and they get a chance to talk and get a picture with him there.
