Please tell her to believe in Santa Claus. That would solve two things. First, she would be ostracized from the friends that she wants to see at the mall and second it would be a useful shield to all the hurt in the world.

There aren't that many really great days in the year anyway, Christmas takes the cake. ---Patti Larrabee <Patti.Larrabee@hsc.utah.edu> wrote: > > Robert, > I have a 12 year old daughter that refuses to give up the Santa belief.
