It's that time of year again when moms and dads dress their little ones up in their finest Sunday clothes and takes them to the mall to get their annual photo with Santa.

The day begins fresh and happy for most parents, but ends sweaty and exhaustive for parents with little ones who are just downright frightened by the Jolly Old Soul in a red velvet suit and a long white beard. 

If you've captured that very moment where your child's terror-stricken eyes meet St. Nicholas, or Santa’s frustrated face behind your bored kids, or just a downright ridiculous family photo with Santa, share it with Patch. We're always looking to share a good laugh with our Patch community.

You can upload photos directly to the Patch site. If you aren't quite sure how to upload a photos, check out our step-by-step guide to uploading photos to Patch. If you still have questions, contact Associate Regional Editor John Hetzler at john.hetzler@patch.com.

Ho, Ho, Ho and Happy Holidays!
