No, Drew didn't really ask for an Official Red Rider Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. And there was no cantankerous elf. There was a nice lady who tried to make Drew smile with a stuffed Elmo doll. He sat there on Santa's knee with a confused look on his face until he finally tried to squirm off. We had two pic options. We went with this one. "It looks as though Drew just told a really funny joke & Santa is laughing so hard his eyes are closed," explained the elf, er, assistant. David & I debated on whether or not we should partake in this Christmas ritual. It seemed awfully cheesy, but then again, that's part of the fun of it!
