Never too cool for the santa hat. He is not a kid that will typically do the "themed" clothing days, like silly hat day, ugly sweater day, backwards day, at school but one day every year, usually the last day before winter break, he wears this santa hat. This started in kindergarten and has continued every year since. To me it's a little peek at a part of his personality that is not often seen.

After
I've started taking my camera to the grocery store. On this particular Sunday I immediately noticed one of the holiday displays that included this familiar face.
My edit:
I seem to be prefer the desaturated look of the seventies (kind of vintage) for photos lately. Started with a levels adjustments for color and lighting. Then I ran PW's Seventies action with layer adjustments. Added a vignette and final sharpen.
Beautifully edited. Both are perfect for a link up I did on Sunday - red and white theme
:-)
Merry Christmas!
