When the Times Free Press asked readers to submit favorite holiday shots for our Silly With Santa contest, we received a variety of fun-loving photos that would cause Santa to belly laugh with ho ho hos.
There were snapshots of children smiling, smirking, sleeping and squalling. One little Dennis the Menace wannabe is curling his fingers into demon claws while on the lap of Santa Claus.
Local Santa’s helpers say the wishes they hear are just as diverse as the expressions captured in these family photo-ops.
“One little boy about 8 years old asked me to bring him a 1973 Cadillac for Christmas,” said Everett Johnson, known as Tennessee Santa Claus.
