#1: Socially Acceptable
It isn’t hard to imagine a wide-eyed child, finger firmly pointed at Santa Claus, turning to their bemused mother with a priceless expression. It’s a hilarious twist on the timeless tradition of kiddos meeting the big man himself, raising suspicion about the whole lap-sitting arrangement while the parent carelessly dismisses them.
This scene perfectly captures the innocence and candid curiosity of children, giving us all a good-natured chuckle at the absurdity of our beloved holiday customs. After all, who wouldn’t question the lap-sitting pact with a man in a fluffy red suit? It’s actually pretty amazing to me that this lurid tradition still lingers so pervasively.
