Mom insists daughters continue Santa photos

Sisters Ashley and Katie Swan started fussing about taking their picture with Santa Claus when they were around 11 or 12 years old.

But, with Ashley, 23, and working full time and Katie, 18, and a senior at St. Joseph’s Academy, the girls still haven’t gotten any relief from the family tradition.

In fact, their mother, Merry Swan, is more determined than ever to have her little girls take their picture with Santa. She won’t let them have their Christmas presents until they do.

“Now, it’s like bribery,” Merry Swan said.

“This is how I feel — you have to do this until you get married,” she added. “This is my gift.”
Happy Santa !!

I want to play Santa next year!!!!! :naughty:

I think I'm with you, thundley . . .  :hitit:

Chase her.

That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

I know of a situation where it is the other way around. The daughters take mom with them to get pics with Santa. Mom goes willingly though. The Daughters are also in their 60's
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

This one, I would.  I'd hit it like an atom bomb hitting Nagasaki.

My sister still insists ALL her kids get a picture with Santa (oldest is 20, youngest is 4).  Not only that, she picks out what they are to wear, and it is at minimum  color coordinated, if not matching outfits!

How on earth does she manage to walk with all those still attached umbilical cords trailing out of her?

who knows...she's a bit on the psycho side.  Never lets her kids downstairs, into stockings of present on Christmas morning untill everyone's hair has been combed/fixed ,etc. so the pictures are nice, too.   Me, as long as they are dressed, its all good!
