I<\/span>t seems the\u00a0Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0family has a budding\u00a0“Santa-phobe”<\/em>\u00a0in their midst, and it’s none other than their two-year-old son,\u00a0Bronze<\/strong>!\u00a0Brittany Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0recently took to Instagram to share a hilariously awkward moment\u00a0from their latest holiday photoshoot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the first photo,\u00a0Bronze was sporting a bright smile<\/strong>. However, Brittany made it very clear that it was temporary, as as soon as the cheerful elf came closer,\u00a0things would change for the worse<\/strong>.\u00a0“A perfect picture of how the Santa pictures did not go…”<\/em>\u00a0Brittany captioned the post, summing up her son’s discomfort.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up snap, however, Bronze was all smiles-once Santa was out of the picture<\/strong>.\u00a0“Of course, he was smiley and in a great mood once he wasn’t close to Santa,”<\/em>\u00a0Brittany wrote,\u00a0showcasing her son’s instant mood shift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This isn’t Bronze’s first brush with Santa-induced dread<\/strong>. In fact, his aversion to the jolly old man has been a recurring theme since his infancy.<\/p>\n

Sterling and Bronze united in their hatred of Santa<\/h2>\n

Back in December 2022, when he was just\u00a0one month old<\/strong>, Brittany revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Bronze’s fear of Santa was so intense he refused to sleep,\u00a0worried about the mythical figure’s impending arrival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Bronze last night told me Santa was coming so he didn’t wanna sleep,”<\/em>Patrick Mahomes’\u00a0wife had shared, giving fans an early glimpse of her son’s\u00a0skepticism toward the holiday icon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And it turns out, Bronze isn’t alone. His older sister, Sterling Skye,\u00a0also seems to share the same anti-Santa sentiment<\/strong>. In a family photo from December 2023,\u00a0Patrick and Brittany radiated joy sitting with Santa<\/strong>, but their kids were a different story.<\/p>\n

Both Sterling and\u00a0Bronze\u00a0wore\u00a0stiff, uneasy expressions<\/strong>, making it clear they weren’t thrilled about\u00a0sharing space with the festive figure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
