I wasn't told there was a Santa Claus when I was a kid. Well ... I was told the stories but no one ever said he brought our presents at Christmas. I asked Mom about that years later and she said she didn't want some big old bearded guy getting credit for the gifts they bought. I can understand that. Grandpa told me the cows talked at midnight on Christmas eve but I knew that couldn't be true. (Did check a couple of times just to be sure.) No Easter rabbit bringing baskets of chocolate. No spirits roaming around at Halloween. My parents did tell me there was a tooth fairy. Maybe they thought believing in a little magic never hurt a kid - or more likely - it was a handy way of stopping the crying after a tooth fell out.

Did you get money under your pillow from the "tooth fairy"?
The cats look like they are having a good time.
