  • The 4th grade teacher....

    I had a teacher around that same age who read us a poem about Santa not being real. This was in a small school in Oklahoma full of very sheltered children. Santa was considered to be an immortal man who was made so because he was so good that God wanted to keep him alive forever (along with his wife) to reward good children.

    When she read the poem, there were tears in almost everyone's eyes.
