I remember very little of my childhood, but I do remember a couple of times trying to stay awake long enough to catch Santa. I'd nod off, and wake up what seemed 5 minutes later to find he'd been, my folks were asleep, and it was still dark. My own kids told me when they figured it out, but they were still happy to keep the rituals going for a while longer.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
I'll trust you, until you give me a reason not too. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your childhood stories here with us. Now I'm going to take two aspirin and call it a night. Pleasure meeting you @catweasel
