[Ace's Dad]

Dreadful——a really magical time in a child’s life-——ruined

By first grade, I had it figured out; Mom and Dad were Santa.

But I was smart enough not to tell my little brother. Also, by that age, I'd learned the real story of St. Nicholas in church.

I’ll tell you what really left me disappointed during my childhood. I had always just assumed that Christmas carols were sung by angels at the birth of Jesus. I had this belief long after I quit believing in Santa Claus.

I remember looking at the words to Silent Night in a book of carols and saw that it was written in the 1800s. I then looked at other carols and it dawned on me that they were written long after the birth.

Good for you-——sibs often ruin it.
