[geeks] "Santa Wars"

[Fogg, James]

Ditto, Santa wraps. Actually, we had a more problematic tradition..... Santa
brought the tree. This left my parents and grandparents to go GET a tree on
Christmas eve AFTER the kids were in bed and then decorate it. All those
years and I had no idea. I love them for the effort, but would have been
happy without the tradition.
