Christmas is just 31 days away and will be here before you know it!  Santa Claus has been seen around the malls and shopping centers getting pictures taken with all the little boys and girls.  There’s nothing cuter than getting a Christmas card with smiling kids sitting on Santa’s lap during the holidays. 

Pictures with Santa are a must if you have children.  It’s more than tradition, it’s a right of passage for every child.  It’s neat to be able to look back over the years at the different pictures of your children with Santa.  I’m not big on mall Santa’s just because of the long lines and the one picture deal.  

The best way to have your child’s picture taken with Santa is to have a friend put on a Santa suit (complete with all the trimmings) and take the pictures yourself.   Or maybe you know someone who loves photography and will take some pictures for you.  I’m telling you, a Santa suit is the way to go and today you don’t have to settle for a cheesy Santa suit that is made cheap and looks ridiculous.  At HalloweenExpress.com they have great Santa suits in every imaginable material; velvet, plush, velour, flannel – you name it, they have it!  You can go with a traditional deluxe Santa suit or step back in time with an elegant Victorian Santa Suit.

Don’t forget all the cool accessories that go along to complete the look.  My favorite is the Santa belly stuffing that really does shake like a “bowl full of jelly”.
