Who can resist a classic scared-of-Santa photo? They're a holiday tradition.
For parents, a visit to the mall Santa is a moment for a cute photo op. But for kids it can be a moment of pure terror: Wait, who is this strange old man with the weird facial hair, and why am I sitting on his lap? MOMMEEEEEEEEEE!
