Santa or Satan?

Twelve months since her last encounter with the man in the red suit and Peyton still hadn't overcome her fears.  She had three chances with SC this year.  First up, her visit at Kierland.  She talked a big game leading up to her turn on his lap, saying she was going to give Santa a hug and kiss.  But when it came time for her to shine, she froze and freaked.  

Get your creepy gloved hands off of me!
The second chance came at Martin's work Christmas party.  Even though this was probably the safest Santa of all, Peyton wasn't buying it.


I told you I didn't like this guy.  Why must you insist on making me sit on his lap?!?

Peyton's last chance came at Grandma and Grandpa's house - where Santa paid a visit a few days before Christmas.  Although her initial reaction was the same, after seeing her cousin Scott cozy right up to him, Peyton re-thought her distrust.  She slowly warmed up to him, and after getting a really cool Leapfrog Ipad, she decided to give Santa a break, and kiss him on the cheek.  

Hmm.  This guy sure is persistent.  
I dunno Mommy.  He still creeps me out.  But he did bring presents.
Success!!
