Side note. Just a fun story. My mother taught in a Christian school in Louisiana near New Orleans. I think she teaching 6th grade at the time. It was about the year 1983 and it snowed in parts of New Orleans. It happens every hundred years or so. One of the girls in her class was shocked at seeing snow because she had learned Santa Clause wasn't real and she thought that snow was part of the story and not real also.

Papa Noel in de cajun!

I don’t doubt that peopel from the south have difficulty accepting the premise.

Similarly, people in Maryland freak out when snow is reported ~ and we see it pretty frequently. These days schools are canceled if snow is simply in the forecast.
