All I know is you hang your stockings there and Santa comes - I guess
that's all I need to know, right?

Well secrets are there to be solved.

When my son was little, I made a decision that when the time came he
ASKED me, straight up, whether there is a real Santa, I'd tell him the
truth.

Well...that day came when he was 7 or so and he asked.
I steeled myself and replied, "well, honey...."

After a mkoment of silence, he burst into tears. I felt just awful.
"Im so sorry", I said. "But I knew you'd ask someday....and I didnt
want to lie to you."

"Well, you shoulda KNOWN I WANTED you to LIE!", he cried. "Just Forget
we HAD this talk!"

I had a conversation tonight with a retired teacher tonight that was
the opposite sort of story. It was the year before she retired.
She's a natural blonde so, you know at 60+ she had snow white hair.

It was during a Christmas (um, excuse me... *winter* - it's public
school after all) performance and she was all decked out with her
Christmas regalia.. red vest with green trees and ornaments, holiday
earrings etc, etc and her class was sitting next to a class of little
ones in the audience, probably kindergartners. She said the child she
was sitting next to kept looking up at her with a look of amazement on
his face - so she said a few nice things to him as any teacher would.
He looked back at her and said with complete awe: "You're Mrs. Claus!"

She's still laughing about it.

My mother was a natural blonde, and when her hair changed, instead of snow
white, or a shade of gray, it looked like platinum blonde. Very pretty.

I had brown hair when young, now I refer to myself as an "Ash Blonde."
Which, I reckon, is better than "Skin Tone."

Feh. My natural color is that brown so dark that most people call it
black, only now it's shot through with with white and, un re-touched it
looks as cold as February. So for now I have mood hair.

Word to the wise: No matter how old you may be, if you have fuchsia
streaks in your hair you're gonna get carded when you go to buy beer.
