Santa is scary...

Made a trip to the Family Christmas Expo last weekend with Grandma (or if you prefer, Hey-sus), Erin, and The Pickle. Erin really has been talking up Ho Ho (how The Pickle refers to Santa Claus) to The Pickle. Apparently last year at the family Christmas Party he was a mess. I didn't see this, but I can imagine - I have seen him as a mess before.... it is not pretty :)
The Pickle was nervous while in line, but Erin just kept talking about how fun Ho Ho can be and everything else. It looked like things were going well until Ho Ho spoke.... "What's your name?" The Pickle responded, then immediately started crying. He took his candy cane and had to be hugged by Grandma to make it all better.





Sitting in the train alone was much more to The Pickle's liking.



The rest of the Expo consisted of us finding a lot of junk - seriously, I can't believe people try to sell this stuff or worse that people buy it - and collecting free candy to feed to The Pickle (this favorite aunt stuff can be hard work!)
