Sitting on Santa's Lap

Today Fitz and I sat on Santa's lap at the mall and told him all about what we wanted for Christmas. Honestly, there didn't seem to be too much of a reaction. While we were standing in line none of the parents of kids seemed to find it weird- I honestly believe it was because everybody was too wrapped up in their own lives to notice anyone else! When we got to the front of the line there was some confusion from the woman who was directing traffic as to why we were there and whether or not we had a small child with us. We ended up telling her what we were doing and asking how often they get teenagers/college students in line for pictures and she said on a regular bases between the hours of 12 and 8 they'll get anywhere from 10 to 20 of them to get pictures (not just to visit, though, like we were). Santa was also really good about it- I could see where it would've been awkward if we hadn't played along when he was joking with us, but I didn't feel all that weird. We both sat on his lap at once, which worried me b/c we're not the 4 year olds I'm sure he's used to, but he was in good spirits so whatever. Then he told me that I got to tell him what I wanted first because I was younger (Ha ha, Fitz!) and definitely laughed when I told him that what I wanted was for someone to pay for the next 3 years of my tuition. Fitz wanted the last semester of tuition and some new clothes, and then that was it! We said Merry Christmas and left! Like I said before, I didn't feel too weird and no one seemed to mind/care that we were there.
