A Christmas Story [View all]

My brother and I are in our 70’s. I live in Oregon and he lives in Brazil. We were talking tonight on our Christmas call, and I discovered something I never knew.

When I was 5 and he was 7, he told me Santa wasn’t real. I apparently cried.

He was so happy to have news to share, that he went to the neighbor’s and told their children, four of them under 6 years old. They all cried.

Their parents called our parents to let them know. My brother said dad sat him down and told him he needed to be more diplomatic! This so much sounds like my brother and my father.

Just a personal story on my first trauma.
