It’s the look of … fear. Picture: Jessica Casey

Bec Murphy: My boys from a few years ago. Riley was not a fan but Ethan was.

Brooke Linehan: My daughter today who was less than impressed with Santa!

Ashlee Cox: My two boys in 2014. Brodie (3) and Logan (10 months) weren't too happy to meet Santa that year. Santa looks like he had had enough for the season too.

Stephanie Reynolds: Poor Santa, he’s not that bad!

Melanie Blair: This is my son Josh , he didn’t want to get to close to Santa. Poor Santa had to lean over to get in the shot.

Sasha Demicoli: This is my poor baby’s first Santa photo! She did not like him one bit.

Penny Nicolouleas: This is my daughter Athena (right) and her bestie Indi-Rose clearly not enjoying Santa’s company. Santa doesn’t look very pleased either.
