that's a cute picture of you and your sister. but santa? (shiver) he looks scary. i wonder if these impersonators are told not to smile. (like it would kill these guys to crack a smile)

was your belief in santa reaffirmed after your dad's conversation on the phone or did you have your doubts after that?

i'll tell you when the santa story changed for me: it's not that anyone told me there was no santa so that's good. what happened was that i realized santa's handwriting and my mom's handwriting were the same. i was probably seven or eight. i don't know. maybe nine (but nine seems too old).

anyway, i didn't want that happening to my daughter so i used a different handwriting on the tags. and i finally admitted to her that there was no santa when she was around 32 years old! LOL.
