Santa Clause is Coming to Town.....

My kids love Santa Clause, they love seeing him and sitting on his lap and getting their picture taken with him. Now I don't mind paying a few dollars for a pic with Santa....but man, I was at the mall walking by and saw Santa there with kids in line waiting to see him. As we were waiting in line I was checking out the prices for pics and OMG!!!! They are so expensive!! I made my kids get out of line, I didn't even want them to sit on his lap scared it would cost for that too!!! What ever happened to the christmas spirit!!!!
