Every year, it seems like the same struggle in Amarillo. I know we face it in our family. You probably have faced it in your family. Trying to get that picture-perfect smiling photo of your child on Santa’s lap.

Why Santa Photos Are So Stressful

You think it's going to be easy, and then you try. Do you have any photos of your child screaming and crying in Santa's lap? Yep, that is exactly the photo I have. The struggle was real for several years, trying for a photo with Santa Claus.

That changed when I promised I’d take her to KB Toy Store afterward, and she could pick whatever she wanted. Bribery, it worked for us. Now, those same trauma-filled photos are starting to happen with my granddaughter. We had a couple of good years when she was tiny. Before she realized this strange guy was there for her to take a photo with.

A New Kind of Santa Experience

Finally, we found an event and an opportunity with a business that gets it. I was so excited to see this opportunity. Little Bees in Wolflin Square is hosting an Ultimate Breakfast with Santa on December 6th. Now, I know, it's another breakfast with Santa that also involves photos with him.

How Little Bee’s Does It Differently

Only it is not. It's not a file in and wait in line then hope for the best photo you can get. It's not going to be a kid terrified of the jolly ol' man. No, this is different. According to Little Bee's this is what makes it special:

Santa Claus is coming to Little Bee's Playhouse for the ultimate family holiday experience!
This is the BEST way to experience Santa (no long lines, limited children, and your little one has an hour to warm up to Santa and play with him!)
All the details are on our website under the events calendar tab, and you can reserve your spot.

Why This Might Be the Best Christmas Card Photo

Your child may show up a little apprehensive, but once they get an hour to run around and play in all of the many playhouses with Santa, that feeling of being scared will go away. This is now the chance to get that photo you will be proud of. Heck, you may even want to use it and send out Christmas cards this year.
