Melissa Maldonado watches as Santa and Mrs. Claus invite her older brother, Esteban, 13, to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas. "You're never too old to sit on Santa's lap," Santa said. After overcoming his reluctance, Esteban did have a seat and whispered his request to Santa. The Clauses visited the Head Start Christmas party on Dec. 20 and passed out stuffed animals and toys to all the children who sat on Santa's lap.
