Henry
Boothwyn, Pennsylvania
"[Here] is the picture I got of my younger son, Henry, last year at our local mall. What you don't see is that his older brother is off-camera to the left, clinging to my mother like Santa was headed for him with a chainsaw. So glad I waited 90 mins to be first in line after Santa's lunchbreak and paid $15 for this shot. We'll never try this again!"—Sara, mom
