My neighbor was 11 and I was 5 and she told me that Santa wasn't real, Michael Jackson was white, the colors black and white aren't really colors AND that a little girl froze to death that winter when she had to go outside to pee because they didn't have plumbing. She was thorough, but the funny thing was our water got turned off that winter and I refused to go outside to pee until the sun was up. I did still believe in Santa though since we went out to eat dinner on Christmas eve that year and when we got home Santa had brought presents, let the dog in and put a bow on her. LOL It was actually THE most perfect Christmas ever. We also had snow drifts the next day to the top of the doors! I just hope my kids can look back and have at least one great Santa Christmas.
