I’ve written about the majesty and major PAIN IN THE ASS-NESS of Santa Claus photos before. When I decided to display these lovely moments in time on this little blog, people claimed I was harming my son.

Remember that?

This is just one stone thrown my direction. You can read all of them here, if you want a laugh. But let’s get the full view of Santa Claus and photos. At the bottom of this post, I’ll show you the latest snapshot of my sons and their North Pole excursion. It’s Arden’s first time!

Well, that was how it went with Finn. He’s now obsessed with the dude. I mean, it’s understandable. A bearded god with limitless power to provide presents, a knack for hanging out with animals and world travel? Santa is the guy I want to be when I become a grandparent.

Well, let’s get the show on the road. How did this year line up?

I know it’ll be a matter of time before Arden is on board, and if he decides the dude in the red suit is bad news, he doesn’t have to go back. But he’ll know, from his brother at least, that there’s some good payback if he plays ball.
