The "I Hate Santa" Album

I'm going to end the week leading up to Christmas the only way I know how— with inappropriate elves and kids who hate Santa. (For example, that's Declan up top with a Santa hatred strong enough to burn a hole in the sun.)

Yesterday, Baby Rabies announced the Top Eleven Inappropriate Elves. Unfortunately, Original Deadbeat Dad and Ball-Gagged Santa didn't make the cut. So I will be throwing my support behind either the elf pissing his name in the snow or the kidney thief. Baby Rabies will announce the winner on Christmas Eve. Bated breath, people, bated breath.

I filmed the fifth episode of the Mommy Shorts Show last weekend right before I lost my voice. I'm talking about inappropriate toys, the end of the Cake Smash Smackdown and Mazzy's brithday. Check it out here. If you like my show and want to know when I post another, please subscribe.

Now on to those tortured kids sitting on the laps of elderly strangers in the mall.

I'm gonna end with a photo of a kid who isn't crying. Witness 8 month-old MATTY entering into the other time-tested tradition of pulling on Santa's beard.

If you want to know when I am looking for pictures for fan photo albums, I would join the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage— I collect all photos there. Like for the Cakesmash Smackdown which will announce it's very last winner on Christmas Day. Crumbs Bakeshop is generously donating one more Colossal Cupcake to the winner of "Most Popular Smash". The photo with the most "likes" takes it. Previous winners not eligible. Vote on your favorite photos here.

Alright friends. Have a wonderful holiday (whatever it is you are celebrating) and I'll see you here next week. I think. I may take the week off. Or blog intermittently. We shall see.

Hope your eggnog is heavy on the alcohol— it helps the kids sleep better that way!
