I used to see my Christmas presents from Santa before Christmas in my mom's closet, and I knew that all the store Santas didn't really look alike. I thought that Santa collected info from the store Santas, my mom and dad bought the things they knew I'd want, Santa would reimburse my parents, and he would place the presents under the tree.
