>Know what? Only that the long night is over. The crown of Christmas is tarnished, but that will fade over time. The expired milk and cookies, a fever dream; the coal in their stocking, a horrible nightmare; and like everything else that's happened such things will only be dimly remembered upon waking to their presents tomorrow. In the end all naughtiness is forgiven. Even yours.
If there were no Santa, it would be necessary to invent him..
