After the last visit to see Santa where Tiernan looked as frightened as a deer caught in headlights, we decided to introduce Operation Befriend Santa.
For the last three weeks every time we have been near a mall, we have popped in and asked if we could visit with Santa. Most of the time there was no-one about, so we got to go in and spend some time talking to Santa, he even cave T a toy a few of the times. I could tell that he was starting to get a little warmer towards the old fella as he started to get closer each time.
Today was "The Day", armed with a group of friends we hit the mall, played a little and then headed over to Santa. Tiernan was a champ, he walked right up to Santa and stood beside him, letting me get a few photos on my own camera and then was pretty content while sitting on his lap, he even cracked a smile once or twice. After we were done, he kept making a bee-line back to Santa and nearly interrupted a few kids pictures. Him and Old Saint Nick were fast friends by the end of it, giving high fives and even kisses!
The proof is in the pudding:
