Several people only confuse your child.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;4. &amp;nbsp;Have fun and be silly. Above all, stay relaxed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;5. &amp;nbsp;Allow Father Christmas’ photographer to help you get fun photos&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;6.&amp;nbsp; Avoid use of the term, "Smile."&amp;nbsp; Silly adults bring smiles naturally.&lt;br /&gt;7. &amp;nbsp;Bring a favorite toy to the photo sitting.&lt;br /&gt;8. &amp;nbsp;Bribery sometimes works.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;9. &amp;nbsp;Save a&amp;nbsp;Victory 44&amp;nbsp;treat until after the sitting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;10.
