Glimpse of Santa

Since I am already in the mindset of Christmas, I am going to share another *must do* this holiday season.

How many of you take your kids to the "mall Santa"?

I have done it every year Van has been alive. She has never been afraid of him, but Santa is sometimes questionable looking to me.

This year is different, our baby has serious stranger danger! People to him are better from an arms length! This is going to put a serious cramp in our "mall Santa" experience! But I got to thinking, and perhaps it's a good thing. Not only are those pictures ridiculously overpriced, they are extremely low quality, and generic.
Maybe you guys remember from last year Glimpse of Santa?! I know some of my readers went. My friend, Jen does this amazing fundraiser every Christmas holiday for a special family in need. Not only are you going to help this family out when you schedule your Glimpse of Santa, but you will be getting some unique, great photos! Oh, and your kids will be happy, because guess who the dressed up Santa is? Their Mommy, Daddy, or favorite Uncle! Awesome, right?

Want some cute Santa pictures? See all the details here, and tell her I sent you!

*disclaimer: We have used Jen a couple of times, and are always in love with the end result. This post is strictly to spread the word, and I will be donating to the family when I go for my Santa pictures with her*!

My mom takes the grandkids to the mall every year but like you said they are so poor quality. I'm going to have to tell her about this and see if she'll do this instead. Last year 2 of the 5 kids were bright red and screaming from santa at the mall.
Thanks for the idea!
