| 3206 | Article | vkimo | Whoa dude, heavy ending. Being a father myself, I've come to know that us men are the real Santa Claus! | Dec 13, 2015 |  | |
| 3207 | Article | Vaporman87 | I am reminded of a similar tale from our very own fuschnikt from last year, 1990 - The Year Santa Died. I enjoy these stories of that final year that we actually believed. And, instead of feeling a tremendous sense of disappointment, we instead come to appreciate the efforts of the "real" Santas. Here, it seems it took little more than a sticker to "open your eyes". I'm guessing you already had your suspicions before that moment, being so easily swayed. Would that be an accurate assumption? | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3209 | Article | NLogan | How did your parents find out you knew? | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3216 | Article | echidna64 | Thanks guys! I had heard rumors from other kids but I was a full believer | Operation Santa | Dec 14, 2015 | |
| 3189 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great memory to share V. Thanks for that. It warms the heart! We do indeed make sure to take part on "Angel" Tree giving during this season. Sometimes it's as simple as a tag on one at the local grocer. Other times, it's church that is handling the exchange. Never have I heard of actually inviting the recipient to dinner at home. That is extremely generous, and that individual is truly a kind soul. I hope that one day you're able to find that family, and offer thanks to them. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3191 | Article | fuschnikt | Love this. I can relate to hand-me-down toys and Goodwill clothes. My parents saved money wherever they could. Now-a-days, our church does the giving tree thing, too. Every year my family grabs two, a boy and a girl. At our church it is pretty anonymous, so inviting anybody to dinner would be out of the question. Sometimes I wonder what the reaction would be to the gifts we put together. Mostly, though, I'm just happy to be giving. I'd love to see this awesome picture you mention sometime. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3192 | Article | vkimo | @fuschnikt Here you go, its a painting by Jaro Hess in the 30s I believe. Its a map of the fairytale kingdoms. So much going on in it and I would look at it for long strands of time just taking it all in. <img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2335/1189/1600/jaro.jpg"> | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3193 | Article | fuschnikt | That truly is awesome! Thanks, man. I dig it. I can totally see looking at that thing for hours. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3195 | Article | NLogan | Yeah that one hits right in the childhood. Angel trees were always anonymous here as well. Never heard of the benefactor giving the stuff personally. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3197 | Article | mickyarber | I think this may be my favorite story I've read here on Retro-Daze. I read it while Away in a Manger was just playing in the background, it it came darn close to bringing a tear to my eye. That or it's from all the saw dust in my shop today. Just an excellent read. I think I'll be reading it to my daughters along with The Night Before Christmas this year. Thanks for sharing. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
