Even though it is very kitsch, a photo of baby with Santa, is a cute memento of baby’s first Christmas.

The ritual of lining up behind other smartly dressed children, Santa’s little helpers trying to upsell you to another photo package and then crossing your fingers that baby will smile, is all part of the experience. If the stars do align and your baby does smile, you may well end up with a photo you like!

My baby was quite good on Santa’s knee, apart from a quick tug on his snowy white beard at the end to check his authenticity. He did say ‘ouch’ in response, so I think the ‘real’ Santa will be visiting our place on Christmas Day.
