This 21-year-old has sat on the same Santa's lap since she was 3

This 21-year-old college student from Syracuse, New York, has sat on the same Santa's lap every year since she was three for that festive photo.
McKenzie Doig treasures her annual meeting with Mr Kringle  and has no plans to stop any time soon.Doig told ABC News.

'My mom, the only thing she ever wants for Christmas...is that I sit on Santa's lap,'  In high school it was really embarrassing, but now I think it's really funny.'

It took a few tries before McKenzie embraced the tradition, her mother explained to ABC..

'The first couple of years I took her to the different malls, she wouldn't have anything to do with him though. When she was three she finally went zooming up to him.'

But it could have all gone wrong when Santa left the mall to work at another store.

'We luckily ended up finding him by one of the photographers there,' Doig said. 'He gave us his phone number so we could contact him once a year.'
