“When my son was convinced Santa Claus was real because he received a gift so extravagant that there was no way his parents were able to get it for him.”
"A couple years ago my mom, brother and me went to Flagstaff and played in the snow and had a snowball fight.”
"Opening a gift trying to think ‘How am I going to act surprised about this gift knowing what it was.’ Yes, I peeked. My mom found out so she switched it out for an old ugly foot stool and rewrapped it. Yes, I was surprised!”
