Thank you for all the suggestions. A character has been picked and is currently in rough sketch form. ^_^
Did you like Santa as a kid? I mean, if you celebrate Christmas that is. If not them fell free to continue to read and laugh at the absurdity of making you kid sit on some strangers lap. I don't really remember how I felt. I think I was okay. I don't have any traumatic events involving Santa to my knowledge.
My kids though... forget it. They want nothing to do with him in person. They hide from him if they see him and even burst in to tears. My daughter never wanted to see him at the mall. She would only stand at the edge of "Santa's Village" and watch other kids have their turn with the red man. Now that my daughter is 5 she'll go up and shake his hand because "that's what you do when your five" she says.
They like the idea of Santa and like to read stories about him. My daughter loves drawing pictures for Santa about what she wants for Christmas. It's so cute. But the real thing... nope... no way.
So how about you? Where you scared of the fat man when you where little?

The way your daughter acts reminds me of my niece.
And after all, you shouldn't talk to strangers ;)
Luckily the Santa in the mall is not that common around where I live. ^^
I remember liking Santa. I don't know how I did in my youngest years, though. But I liked Santa, for the most part.
So my parents assured me that they contacted Santa and requested that he land on the lawn and low and behold Christmas morning I found boot prints, sled tracks and nine sets of reindeer hoofprints in the snow outside and presents from Santa under the tree.

I don't think parents should lie to kids. Have fun in a fantasy, sure, if your kids happen to be so inclined, but be forthright about it. That's my opinion.
VGCats Rulez, you know it!
You'd better drop dead, I'm telling you dude...
Santa Claus is gunning... You doooown!
Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"
The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain...
