We took Ananya to visit Santa Claus this year, as we have done every year so far. Her first year (6 mo. old), she was fascinated by Santa, last year (1 1/2 years old) she cried her heart out and refused to sit on Santa until Pooneet and I joined in (so Pooneet ended up sitting on Santa's lap!), and so we were definitely a little nervous about what our experience this year would be like.
But this year, Ananya loved Santa! She happily sat in his lap, said "Merry Christmas" to him, and when Santa asked what she wanted for Christmas this year, she replied "Candy!" (poor deprived child) and so he gave her a candy cane and she couldn't have been more thrilled :)
Happy Holidays to you from our family!
