TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, December 23, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Do you remember how old you were when you quit believing in Santa? I know that I was either 10 or 11, and I woke up one evening to hear my parents shuffling bags out of the attic.

I thought to myself, "Hey, wait that's what Santa does..." and then suddenly it all clicked into place. I tried my best to pretend I still believed on Christmas morning, but my mom could tell and it broke her heart a little.

Now that I have little cousins, I understand how some of the magic disappeared that Christmas morning. It's fun to share in the excitement of Santa again through their little eyes!

Enjoy!
Melissa
