All day the neighborhood was filled with distant sounds of screaming children and I couldn’t figure out if they were gleeful shrills from opening amazing presents or crying from the dismay of finally learning that Santa Claus did not fall down the chimney, nor is he real. Yeah, I said it. In my niece’s case, it was pure. unadulterated. J O Y.
