For my one any only reader that is still left out there,
Have a photo of your kid (or an old photo of you as a kid) screaming on Santa's lap?
I'm thinking a little photo montage post is in order.
Email your "how could you do this to me/get me off this creepy fat man's lap/I'm only in it for the candy cane" photos to leggo_my_meg-o@juno.com
Also, why is it that my spell checker does not approve of the word "Santa's"???
Why is it that "Satan's" and "Shanta's" are the only replacement word suggestions?

I have no Santa pictures, sadly, because my children scream like someone's ripping out their kidney when the photo op is suggested. Then I ruined it: when my oldest was three, she asked if Santa was real and I had to be honest. When describing Santa's MO to my middle child (she was two and a half), she was scandalized. "He comes into OUR house? But he's a stranger! He can't come here! He can't take our cookies!" No cute holiday magic around here. Oh well. Have you read David Sedaris' story "Six to Eight Black Men" about his encounter with the French Christmas customs? It is a riot!
I'm still reading Meg, even in South Africa. I do have a great kid crying on Santa's lap piture. I'll send it to you when I get home from South Africa. Hey did I mention, I'm in South Africa!!!
I don't have one either! Weird! I am surprised....I guess I didn't chose to fight that battle when they were young enough to be scared...
