Parents around the world will relate to Kelly Clarkson’s failed Christmas memory.

Following in a festive Christmas tradition, the singer brought her daughter River Rose Blackstock to visit Santa, but not all went according to plan.

The singer took to Instagram on Christmas Eve to share a sad, yet completely hilarious, holiday memory! “So this happened…. #RiverLovesSanta ….is it wrong I slightly enjoyed this ha!” she captioned a photo of a crying River Rose sitting on Santa’s lap.

The moment, however, wasn’t River Rose’s first visit with the jolly man. Her first encounter with Father Christmas came exactly one year ago, and judging by the photo, it went far smoother the first time around.

Check out both photos below:
