Two Brothers Smile With Santa for 34 Years
The holidays are always steeped in tradition, but these two brothers
from Holliston, Mass. have taken sitting on Santa’s lap to a lifelong
level. “We’re stuck,” the younger brother, Martin Gray, now 30, told
GoodMorningAmerica.com of their annual photo opp. “We don’t really have a
choice at this point.” It innocently began in 1980 with older brother,
Mike, as a simple, seasonal snapshot organized by their mom, and has
snowballed into a full-grown holiday mission with both brothers
throughout the years. “My mom always did it and we never gave it much
thought,” said Gray, but “it came to the point where we can’t really
stop this since we’ve done it for 12 years.” Year after year, no matter
where they were located, the brothers always made it a point to get
together to quickly pose with the jolly big man. “Sometimes my brother
had to scramble to come home from college and I’d just have to meet him
at some random mall,” said Gray. Now, 34 years later, the Santa
photo-taking torch has been passed onto a whole new generation of kids.
“This will be their problem to deal with,” Gray laughed, adding, “Our
mom thinks it’s hysterical, and it’s all about making mom happy.”
