He's a huge, strangely dressed man who sneaks into people's homes at night, then yells, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" at the top of his lungs. Who wouldn't be afraid of Santa Claus?

I have a picture like this of my son when he was one. He is now 4 and loved Santa this year. Could hardly wait to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. Had the words out before Santa even asked.

My son is 45 and I have a picture of him red faced and screaming while sitting on Santa’s lap.
