Meet Suzie McClinton.

The 51-year-old South Florida woman was kicked out of the Indian River Mall after she tried to use her own camera to take pictures of her 9-month old granddaughter Alaina sitting on a mall Santa’s lap, RadarOnline.com has learned.

That's a 'ho-ho-ho' no-no it seems because even Santa doesn't allow freebies; the Santa Photo Experience kiosk charges $22.99 for the pictures.

When an employee told McClinton, "You can't take pictures," McClinton reportedly erupted into a foul-mouthed frenzy, causing three security guards to escort her off the property.

"Where is the real spirit of Christmas?" McClinton, who said she was recently laid off, told TCPalm.com. "How could you commercialize that?"

I remember when my kids were little and they only charged 5 bucks AND they allowed you to take your own pics AND video tape. 23 bucks is outragous, especially in this economy. Team grandma all the way!

Trying to get a freebie? My husband didn't have a full time job for 15 months and we didn't try to
rip anyone off. Does she expect free food from the grocery store?

$23 for pics with Santa??? What a rip off!! That's why we don't do the mall. I got mine for free at a family event. For $23 bucks, it should come with lunch or dinner.
