We didn't know our oldest girl would clearly remember things when she was 3 but when she started school & holiday classroom pageants approached she got into fisticuffs with a boy who called the bearded gentleman, Santa Claus. She demanded to call him

happy holidays to you all!

I loved this story. I read it to the family and we agreed St Closet is very apropos! They all know not to rummage through my closet this time of year. Thanks for sharing it! Precious.
