When I was about 4, my family went to get our Christmas pictures taken at a studio. The owner happened to have a glass paperweight that read "Noel" on the front. I asked my dad what Noel meant, and he told me it meant "don't touch", because he thought I would break it. From the age of four until I was about 14 that's really what I believed, but I found it very rude to be posted inside a church during the holidays.
