Now that my daughter is old enough to understand Christmas and the concept of Santa, it turns out that elves do not really exist and I have to put all this shit together.
If any of you have any similar victories (or failures) please post 'em!

It's been kind of a rough year for one of my friends. Her (soon-to-be-ex) husband is a slouch who does nothing but play WoW all day and won't even watch the kids. She's afraid of him, and his kid from his first marriage is autistic and has a predilection for choking his 3 year old little sister.

So, up until a week or so ago, the mother was staying in a shelter, and MY WIFE and I decided we'd throw everything we had into giving the little girl a good Christmas (even forgoing buying presents for each other).

They came over yesterday, and for the first time in my life I got to be Santa. I got to eat cookies late at night, drink some milk, and make one special little girl very, very happy. So far it's been a pretty great morning, even if she did have us up at 4am!

So the only difference is this time you wore a red suit while you did all of that?

Seriously though that is a great story, glad it worked out today and hopefully things turn out ok for the adults in the situation.
