This year things are definitely going to look different because of the pandemic. A lot of malls and places with Santa are going the touchless route, the plexiglass route, or doing away with Santa visits altogether. No Santa, no tears right?

So why would you set up a photoshoot with your child (a little girl) in what appears to be a Christmas Tree farm, with a Grinch who sneaks up on her, and expect nothing but success? Not like the kid turns around and is like, "Oh yay...the Grinch is here! Happy times".

Nope quite the opposite.
