- I'd have been upset about that too - fortunately Helen has just finished
- first grade and the Principal arranged for Santa to visit the school and talk
- to all the children in the infants department. He brought the Primary School
- children a bag of lollies each, but they didn't get to talk to him personally
- ... he did however pick up their mail for him.
-
- I still haven't confirmed to any of my children, including the 21 year old
- that there is 'no Santa'.... and I guess I never will.
