Now my definition of Santa is abstract. To me it's the spirit and magic of the season. Does magic give you the same feeling? Probably not. Ok, this is rationalizing but I think we all need things to wonder about and Santa is not a bad one.<br />thanks for sharinglislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-53594031567211800692011-12-15T09:16:24.734-06:002011-12-15T09:16:24.734-06:00I find the whole idea creepy.I find the whole idea creepy.Jenehttp://theoriginalbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-48572446046623052742011-12-15T09:16:11.225-06:002011-12-15T09:16:11.225-06:00Ah, I haven't seen the Twelve Pains of Christm...Ah, I haven't seen the Twelve Pains of Christmas in forever!
