Sit on my lap little children

During the Christmas time of year where we go to the mall and buy presents for our loved ones. Nothing peculiar about that, but then you go see Santa clause who is apparently in this small snowy area surrounded by female elves; Apparently the male elves stay home and are not present, or they are probably hosting a movie in the next state. Then your children want to go take a picture of Santa clause so they can tell them what they want for Christmas. The little children go and this is the only time were this is not only legal, but you pay the man to do it. You pay him to pick up your children and put him/her on his lap while the children tell him what they want, while taking a picture...... Is Santa a pervert? Is that why they must sit in his lap surrounded by female elves? i know there is definitely something wrong with that picture............
