The rest of the story: Is Santa Claus real?

Growing up on Jamestown Hill: The secret Susan Russell knew; and kept from her confidante - to this day

Ann Heskamp Curtis writes:
Thanks for the memories, Ralph Roy! I don't even recall the Christmas bike episode, but I do remember that Susan Russell had a green bike and I had a royal blue one, and we rode them all over the neighborhood. You were always in the picture on one of your Schwinns.

And in the spirit of paying it forward, Susan Russell constantly tormented me about a secret involving "S.C." When I insisted that it must mean Santa Claus, she would only respond by laughing maniacally.

Merry Christmas from sunny California!

The Christmas Story

From Bethlehem: A Savior has been born in Bethehem, also called the City of David. New Baby is hailed as Christ the Lord. MAP

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: And they were sore afraid . . .

And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2: 8-14
