As always, Santa made an appearance at the Rabbit Creek Preschool holiday party, bearing gifts of books for each child. Cate is such a skeptic. She still believes in Santa in general, but here is the basics of our conversation to proove my point.
Cate: Mom, the real Santa doesn't come to our preschool parties. It's not the real Santa.
Mom: How do you know that?
Cate: Well, last year, I saw him drive away in a car. Santa drives a sled with reindeers. He doesn't drive cars.
Mom: Well, maybe the reindeers were resting. And maybe this year the real Santa will be there.
Cate: No, it's not the real Santa. I could tell. His voice sounds like Pastor Dan. And his hands are hairy, like Pastor Dan's. It's Pastor Dan and not Santa.
Pastor Dan is the pastor of the church we rent space from. He's a jolly man who seems made to order for the part of Santa. Except for skeptics like Cate.
