I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: "There is no Santa Claus," she jeered. "Even dummies know that!"

I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole lot easier when swallowed with one of her "world-famous" cinnamon buns. I knew they were world-famous, because Grandma said so. It had to be true.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town,ÔÇ¿ no noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down,ÔÇ¿ no children in flannels were tucked into bed,ÔÇ¿ they all wore shorty pajamas instead. To find wreaths of holly, 'twas not very hard,ÔÇ¿ for holly trees grew in every back yard.ÔÇ¿ In front of the houses, Dads and Moms wereÔÇ¿ adorning the bushes and coconut palms. The sleeping kiddies were dreaming in glee, ÔÇ¿hoping to find water skis under the tree. ÔÇ¿They all knew that Santa was well on his way,ÔÇ¿ in a Mercedes-Benz, instead of a sleigh. And soon he arrived and started to work, ÔÇ¿he hadn't a second to linger or shirk. ÔÇ¿He whizzed up the highways and zoomed up the road,ÔÇ¿ in a S-L 300, delivering his loads. The tropical moon gave the city a glow,
