Remi freaked, it didn't seem right to him. The lights from the camera flashes disturbed him and the constant chatter of by standers was too loud for him. The smell of the plastic decorations and trees was over powering, and he couldn't get away.
Daddy picked Remi up when he sensed him getting tense. Remi hung onto daddy tightly, while covering his ears and squinting his eyes shut.
Mummy, daddy and their kids got to the front of the line. Remi was terrified and started crying. Ezra gave Remi a tight squeeze, and even though he hated being touched, his comfort made Remi feel better.
Ezra and Daddy held one of Remi's hands each, with mummy and Arlo following closely behind as they walked up to Santa.
Remi didn't want to go, but he wanted to make mummy happy. He held onto his bear, Mickey, and took a deep breath while walking up to Santa's chair. Remi, Ezra and Arlo got their photo taken and then got to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Mummy walked back over to the others. "And what would you like for Christmas?" Santa asked Remi. Since he can't talk, mummy answered instead, "Remi would like a new toy car," she said. Santa nodded, "I'll see what I can do Remi. You be a good little boy for your mummy and daddy."
When everyone got home, Mummy helped everyone wrap the presents and put them under the tree, before putting everyone went to bed.
