10+ Funny Photos of Children Who Were Definitely Not Excited To Meet Santa
Priceless family memories.
Sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what you want for Christmas is a timeless Christmas tradition. Most of us today cannot recall a year we didn't have this experience. What is up for debate, however, is whether or not the memory and experience ever was or ever will be enjoyable. Based on the hysterical amount of photos that exist we're inclined to wonder how this tradition lingers on, other than for the amusement of parents everywhere.
Essentially, photos of sitting on Santa's lap are historically and presently failures. Screaming, crying, not smiling, peeing... you name it. Kids love Santa until the moment they're going to sit in his holly-jolly lap. Then it's horrifying. And for the rest of us? We find some sick humor in it. Few things will make you laugh this Christmas season as hard as these Santa Photo Fails will!
