i might as well go ahead and tell you right up front: i believe in santa claus. now
you can believe or not believe
but i'm here to tell you for a fact that there is a santa claus
and he does bring toys and stuff like that on christmas eve night. i know
i know. it sounds like i've had too much eggnog
don't it?
all i ask is that you wait till i get through telling my story before you make up your mind. when i was a kid
christmas time had a magic to it that no other season of the year had. there was just something in the air
something that you couldn't put your finger on
but it was there
and it affected everybody. it seemed like everybody smiled and laughed more at that time of year
even the people who didn't hardly smile and laugh the rest of the year. you reckon it's gonna snow? i sure do wish it'd snow this year. do you reckon it's gonna?" heck no
