Here Comes Santa Clause

Santa made his debut last night at the mall. I've never been there (in AL) when he arrived, so I thought it would be fun for Sage. She totally gets Christmas this year: it's Jesus' birthday AND Santa is coming. So she was pretty excited, but her emotions turned when he got out of his horse drawn carriage. (Yeah not sure about that one.) It was something about all those kids screaming with such excitement (aside from mine, who was screaming with fear) that made me teary. It's just such a beautiful time of such innocence...I don't know what came over me. Anyway, when we were walking towards the crowd that was awaiting his arrival, she said, "Don't let Santa touch me. I don't want him to touch me." Ha ha. The pictures tell the story.

Here comes Santa Clause!
There he is!!
NOOOOOOO!
I love this picture.
