Even Santa is Greedy!
Christine the Curmudgeon remembers the days when kids could visit Santa, and parents could take pictures. When I was a little curmudgeon, I was taken to visit Santa at the local Sears store, and if my mother wanted pics, she had to take them herself.
Well, how times have changed! Now, not only are parents not allowed to take their own pics of their kids on Santa’s knee at the mauls, but picture packages, which seem to consist of crappily taken Polaroids, by teenagers who look like they just got out of drug rehab, and probably need to go back there, come with a high price tag. I got an ad in the mail about this (why, I don’t know), and the cheapest package was $25. Sheesh, all most people want is one lousy picture!
Everything is about the almighty dollar these days. Better to stay away from the mauls, and maybe find an event in your community that lets kids visit with Santa, and allows parents to take their own pics.
Disgusting!
