I love # 24 also he is a growing talented child. I don't know so much about te Santa he seems more stressed then the child.

and I always thought children were the one to put parents through hell once in a while?! is this a payback?

WARNING: DO NOT EAT OR DRINK WHILE VIEWING THESE PICS!! IT MAY CAUSE YOU TO YOU TO INSTANTLY BUST OUT INTO UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER & CHOKE!!! OMG!!! Almost choked on my coffee when this pic came up my monitor!!!! This one is HILARIOUS!!!!

Addison ... you made my day! LOL ... Happy Holidays everyone!

OMG! this is just hilarious! i'd kill to have one of these baby pictures

#24 - "I'm on the naughty list again!!"
Poor little one! I'm sure there'll be a big laugh out of it when older!

neat.

OMG #24 is AWESOME! Kid's like, "oh my gawd this is not happening!" and Santa's like, "oh my gawd this is not happening."

this is the best! love it [lol] oh man iam going to pee my pant after all these crazy santas and cute kids...

Oh I would be SO happy if my kid took a classic picture like that, Im not being sarcastic for a second either. The look on santas face, the baby in complete distress and the awesome holiday border. WELL DONE LMAO!!!

We love you, Addison!! Think she would like Santa now after getting all his loot?

#24, Addison, is the BEST of all the bad Santa pics. I have never seen a kid in such distress. hehehehehe Gotta love her!

# 24 is the very very very best one! What a CLASSIC Santa picture!

Awww poor little Addison! So glad everyone else gets to see how cute she is even if she's a screaming terror here. :P

This one is the best, by far. I can just imagine what she is thinking. The hands on the head says it all!

I think this one should have made #1.
What a little cutie patotie!!

Yay Addison!!!

How cool. 24 is my friend baby GIRL

I had to switch cable providers during December and did not get to see if my daughter's picture made the show. I finally got a chance to look tonight and was SO happy to see she is #24. That's my girl!

I think this picture needs that song "so you had a bad day" playing in the background.
If you could read santa's thoughts: serenity now
serenity now, for the love of God...SERENITY NOW!"

I feel so bad for the parents, they probably waited in line for hours to get a picture taken. This will be the one picture they remember for years to come. Even though the child is visibly upset, it is still so damn cute.

Santa: Jeez kid i dont want to be here either, but cant you just cooperate.
haha

Ha Ha Ha!! "Why are my parents doing this to me?" This one is hilarious!

dear ellen these pictures are adorable but i believe number 24 is my favorite the baby just looks as if to say i can't believe your making sit on a stranger!!!!!

#24 pic is a all time favorite ! The little boy is priceless what a show of emotion!! And Santa is ready for Miller!! LOL

This is a really bad hair day Santa!!!!!

Merry Christmas Ellen! Thanks for bringing on the fun this year.

Hi Ellen! This one (#15) says, "Mom! How could you do this to me? This santa's a woman!

I bet they can't wait for the Easter Bunny !

Oh NO No NOOOO!!! I can't remember WHAT I wanted!!!!! I KNOW what it IS.... I just can't remember!!!!!!

O My Gosh,I dont wont to be here.Thest are great pictures.

Oh my goodness...how cute! The look on Santa's face is like "All day of screaming babies and poopy diapers, You really want me to smile?" Then the kid is like "Why?! Why do you do this to me, mommy?!" So cute, can't wait to take mine this year and see his reaction!

This kid looks like he could use a drink, or maybe had too many!

LOL, this one (photo 15) is hysterical! I can't decide whose face makes me giggle more, the wee boy's or Santa's. They both look so pitiful, like they need a milk and cookies break.

I vote for picture number 15 also. I think the toddler is thinking "How did I ever get into this mess".

Number 15 is my favorite. It looks like both(santa and the cutie patudie) didn't get their nap. It's so nice to escape reality for one hour a day and laugh at ourselves about how we look at some things. Thanks for making the world a better place and helping others, it's a concept we all need to be aware of more. Merry Christmas!!! sherri

Hi Ellen,

Love you, and this picture is great, thanks.
Look at Santa's face he probably thinks to himself "what a hell. Once in a year itn won't kill me...."

Not happy at all !

A headache!?!....No Santa's breath!?!...No just Santa....what a great pic!

this cute sweet cheeks cant handle the pressure.

The poor little darling....

funny

This kid, what a character! I'd love to know what he's like now, cause he sure knew how to express himself then! A winner for sure!!!

How hysterically funny. It's as if they both are asking, Why me?

Love this one. #15 of 23 on 12/7/2007. Thanks for the smiles.

in a world that is so sad, you always find the time to make people smile. thank you for making my day brighter. i hope you and your family have a happy,and fulfilling holiday! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY THE COMIMG NEW YEAR BE THE BEST YOU EVER HAD. DELLA BOLEJACK.

hey ellen i tried to enter my name in your christmas give away and im live in canada and i didnt know it was for U.S residents only oh well my loss thank bettyann baynham

These are hysterical. I love #1 it's soooo funny. The last one is funny too, with the twins trying their hardest to get down. I have one like that with the Easter Bunny...so funny!!!

Shannon, geez, is your nickname Scrooge?? I don't think any of these kids are going to need therapy when they get older. Parents are standing right there, don't think Stranger Danger applies to Santa, kids all KNOW Santa.

I love the first one he looks so angry he got a headache lol... oh and the sixth one aww poor baby he looks terrified

number one is funny

Shannon,
Please see my comments to picture 9. I believe this was a large reason for both of my boys' responses. Although this was 20 years ago, I was teaching then about stranger danger. However, both their dad and I were standing right there (got a good 2 minute shot of the back of me in the video even..lol) and they knew they were safe. Had they truly been kicking and crying, I would not have done it. As it turned out though, it was one great video! :)

Ellen, This is the best picture gallery on the net. What I find more intersting is in todays world that you are not suppose to discipline your children. Ok so no more time out's and good lord don't even say the "S" word (spanking). Thats ok just threaten to take them to see the BIG GUY in the red suit. Just show them a picture of ol Saint Nick and they'll be good. Priceless! John B. Omaha

I don't mean to sound like a scrooge, I love Christmas and Santa but I just don't get it...we teach our children about stranger danger and then force them kicking and screaming and terrified to sit on some strangers lap just so we can get a picture. I have never done that to my son. Is it worth it? I do have pics of him with Santa but I waited until he was eager to do so, I didn't have to force him.

I love the little guy with his belly hanging out. He looks very unhappy.

Hi Ellen, I got a great Bad Santa photo, how can we send it in???

These are hilarious. I also have a great santa photo. How can I post it?

Haven't laughed so much in ages! I love the first one with the hands on his head! It's like he's saying "OMG when will these papparazzi leave me be?! And who's the fat fella in the red suit! Will someone get me some milk?! I need a drink!"
