you guys are crazy and hilarious. the Naughty room is getting to be the place to hang out while waiting for the reveal day. But IMHO there are more than just naughty people there. I have been good--put my box in the corner of my bedroom and have let it alone. My son used to drive limousines a few years back and all unopened bottles of liquor left behind gravitated to my dining room closet shelves. I dont drink that much so they have been aging nicely. Got a couple of whiskey and 3-4 bottles of various wines. Think they will gain me an invitation to join the party even if I havent been naughty ( for once)?

I got 2 pkgs from my SS and one said to open on Dec 1. I opened it to find the most beautiful pillowcase and a poem to go with it. I LOVE IT!!!!! We are leaving Monday for a month long trip and I was wondering what I could do for a pillowcase it the car, because mine are all white. The pillowcase is perfect, darker colors and so colorful!!
Thank you,
Secret Santa

Did you order something that you're forgetting about chewboo? I do that all the time. See it, order it and then when it shows up I'm amazed. Think I should start keeping better track of my impulses.
Linda 58 what a nice surprise from your Santa, she or he was certainly thinking of you on your trip.

[TD]Dear Editor,
I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in the Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

[TD]Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.[/TD]

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."
