That's all true, and I agree - my childhood Santa memories are much the same.

I think it's especially sweet when kids get old enough to know it's pretend, but they go along with it, indeed want to go along with it - for the sake of those younger than themselves. It's a tiny step in growing up. Learning to lie for a good reason.
