Nicole Polizzi's son Lorenzo has had difficulty posing with Santa Claus through the years -- and it seems that the MTV munchkin's little sister Giovanna is following in her big brother's footsteps. Gotta love a crying moment with Father Christmas...

The Snooki & JWOWW star shared a priceless photograph of her kiddos taking part in the annual holiday tradition with Saint Nick. Say cheese...or not.

"Sissy stop embarrassing me in front of the big man," the Jersey resident captioned the pic above (from her son's perspective), which finds Giovanna mid-meltdown while her sibling is smiling but clearly fazed by the amazing awkwardness. If only we knew what the North Pole's most famous resident was thinking...

Nicole's hubby Jionni shared a similar outtake from the tear-filled occasion, while adding "Let's just wait till next year! #santalove #betterlucknextyear." Good thinking, J!

Which kid's expression takes the cake -- Lorenzo or Giovanna's? Sound off in the comments -- and for an old-school December treat, watch Nicole and her BFF Jenni Farley playing Secret Santa in the clip below!
