The terror of Santa:
So here is my take on why kids are scared of Santa. He is a large man, a stranger with an obscene amount of facial hair. His suit is old and smelly and we hand our children over to him to sit on it. We tell our children that this man (he is a stranger remember this) watches you all the time to see if you are good. This is pretty creepy. Also this man who essentially stalks you sneaks into your house in the middle of the nights and eats your food.
All of that to say, Hannah has conquered her fear.
She told Santa that she wanted a "Bigger Dollhouse" this year and she was excited to do it! Thank goodness the need for new toys outweighs the fear of strange hairy men.
Parker didn't care either way, he is familiar with being passed off to any friendly face.
