The Story Behind An Awkward Christmas Photo!

The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Yes, it's the title of a popular Tim Burton movie, but its also what my wife called the above photo of my kids this weekend.  Yep, that's my son Chase painted like a skeleton next to Santa Claus.  Jolly old St. Nick looks terrified!  So why the face paint?

My wife's employer has a holiday party every year geared towards kids.  Employees can bring their kids in for crafts, gifts and a sit down with Santa Claus himself.  One of this year's most popular activities was the face painting station.  My daughters chose things like a rainbow and a ladybug.  My son wanted something a little more dramatic.  So, the painter gave him a skeleton face.  When I saw Chase's face I told him he was 2 months late for Halloween.  But when I saw this picture I laughed out loud.  What a ridiculously funny and awkward holiday photo!

Merry Christmas!
