Still, one carrot between all those reindeer... Not much is it?
I wonder how they dig them up in their natural habitat tho.

I remember one Christmas eve night, my big brother came into my bedroom and, finding me awake, told me he could hear reindeer hooves and jingling sleighbells. So convincing was he, that I convinced myself I could hear them too.

Santa's rig runs on "natural gas".

I was brought up a practising Catholic.
Some of the things I heard grown-ups try to explain were far weirder than Father Christmas, honestly.

Like I said, I cried when I was told.
I'd held out against my doubts for quite a while because of the promise of feeding the reindeer. I had to believe they were true because I wanted them to be so much.

Then again I genuinely believed I would find Narnia one day.
I was a passionate child.

My mother doesn't believe in fairy tales (except the 'going to heaven' one). So sis and I grew up knowing there was no Santa Claus, or Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy or any other fun, imaginative creature. As a result, I've made certain to encourage my children with many little magical and mythical practices.

We always leave out cookies and milk, and a carrot for the reindeer.

I believed in Santa Clause, I didn't believe in Santa Clause, I *am* Santa Clause.
