It’s that time of the year where parents prepare to wait in long lines with their children to grab that perfect photo with Santa to use for their yearly Christmas card.

For me, it was always a mission trying to get my son dressed and ready for Santa photos because I had to make sure he didn’t mess up his hair or get his clothes dirty from the time we got in the car to the time we made it to the mall!

My son is now a teenager so it had been a while since I had to worry about Santa photos, however this year we did take photos with Santa when we were in Phoenix.
