So I just noticed that everyone else had pictures of their kids with Santa so of course I had to conform. We just went to the mall, as our ward didn't ask Santa to come and visit. Wes and I couldn't believe the outrageous cost of purchasing photos with Santa. Not one of the packages were less than 20 bucks, yeah right!! So we stood in line and like cheap-o's pulled out our digital camera and said, "We'll be the photographers, thanks." Ben is going through some strange life crisis where he won't get within 2 feet of strangers, so getting onto Santa's lap was a waste of time. We've been also having a hard time getting Logan excited about Christmas. HE understands it, but I think he is still just too young. I think he's more excited to see Chipmunks with his cousin than for Santa to leave his goodies. Oh-well. One more thing, I don't know what it is about Christmas that leaves people in extra cranky and foul moods, but while we were standing in line waiting to see Santa, the family in front and behind us were being awful to their kids. All of the sudden I noticed the family in front of us were gone and when I mentioned it to Wes he said, "Yeah, the mom said to her little girl, 'Well, that was a bad choice, now we're leaving. Sorry no seeing Santa this year.'" Then the people behind us kept yelling and screaming at their kids to get up off the ground and quit pulling on their vests and dresses. Ben was starring because they were making such a scene and the grandmother said to her little granddaughter, "Yeah, he probably thinks you're an idiot!" I couldn't believe it. Tis the season people, please!!

Santa does look pretty scary, especially to a one year old! But Grandpa Lee is worried that Ben won't even go near him when we see you in a few days.
Speaking of rude people, I went to the mall today and opened the door for a man who was holding the hand of his little child, while speaking on his cell phone. He didn't even acknowledge that I opened the door for him. Just kept on walking and talking. "For rude," I thought. Then when in the grocery store, one of the clerks totally cut in front of me with a shopping cart of stuff she was reshelving. I literally had to stop to keep her from running into me. She didn't say one word. I agree with Kate, "Tis the season, people, please!"
