He pulled a "Ralphie"

Last Friday we went to get Santa pictures. The boys were very exited to tell Santa what they wanted. (Flow charts, and spread sheets were involved) We waited patiently until it was our turn to meet the big man himself. Will walked right up and climbed onto Santas lap while John griped onto Julies pant leg like she was hanging out of a helicopter. He froze. He wanted no part of this. We at least got him to sit on Santas lap, but he was not happy about it. Julie and all of the helpers tried to get John to smile for the camera. I told them to not fight it and just take a real Holiday picture we might remember. The only thing that would have made this picture better is if John had fresh "fear drizzle" in his pants.

Later that day John realized that he blew his chance to tell Santa what he wanted. He freaked out and wanted to go back. It reminded me of Ralphie from a "Christmas Story". Only after promising that we would write a letter to the North Pole did he start to calm down.
