I have to say that in my entire life I have never once thought about the germs on Santa! I don't think a lot about germs in general, though beyond the fact that I wash my hands and keep the house resonably clean. Grocery carts did strike me as germy when my kids would try to put their mouths on them (and I did stop that! lol). Just goes to show you how different people can be in what gets their attention! At this age, the trip to see Santa would be for you---a first chance to get a picture of your baby with Santa! I would do it, I know I would. I got those pictures, even when the kids cried a bit (I just told the photographer to take the picture fast---another "lol"). If you are really worried, though you probably don't even take your baby to the grocery store or the mall so it might not be worth the anxiety for you. There is always next year...assuming there is no flu going around then.
