Fear of Santa

QUESTION:

My son and I went to see Santa Claus to get our annual photo taken but this year he would not get on his lap. What happened?

ANSWER:

As children get older, their senses develop in ways we sometimes overlook. I believe what your son is going through is a normal fear associated with being in near proximity to a very rotund stranger clad in red.

In professional terms we call this "CLAUSE-traphobia".
