Well, folks, it’s that time of year again. You know, the season when you — O wise parent, aunt, nanny, whoever — hatch a holiday plan to take some super-cute kids to sit on Santa’s lap. Or maybe you simply want to dress them up for a holiday card portrait or just a festive good time. The only problem is that baby ain’t feeling the holiday spirit right now. Nope, not even a little bit. And right before your eyes (and those of throngs of riveted mallgoers), kiddo proceeds to wildly, royally flip out — right when the camera clicks.
We gathered together a few families’ priceless photos that are now the most treasured of holiday memories — but not because they feature calm, smiling children exuding joy and good cheer. Instead, these pics are priceless because the babies are just plain over it. They’re done, folks. Poor unsuspecting Santa.
For the cutest/saddest/funniest faces to ever grace Mall Santa’s lap, click ahead. And just try not to laugh too hard. Weren’t you, too, a pissed-off kid in holiday attire once?
