Well, I have a story for you...
We used to spend christmas at my Aunt & Uncles house, and every year we'd sleep over Christmas Eve and Wake up to the presents on Christmas Morning.
Well, My older cousin (I believe 12 or 13 at the time) obviously didn't believe in Santa Clause anymore. She also had a younger sister (5 or 6 maybe?) who did...
Well, my father, ever the jokester, decided that he would help along the younger cousin's belief. He purchased a Santa Costume a week or so before The Big Day...
Early Christmas Morning, say 1:00am or so, He puts the suit on and climbs into the attic. After much stomping around on the "roof" to wake the girls, he climbs out the attic window onto the roof. After several attempts, climbs into the chimney (very, very large fireplace, with a bigger than normal chimney) and slides on down. The girls, who were patiently waiting at the top of the stairs, see a soot covered santa land haphazardly in the fireplace and have a helluva time getting out.
Needless to say, my older cousing went to school when break was over, tried convincing her friends that they were all wrong, Santa truely did exist, and he slid down her chimney on christmas....
Lol, I kinda felt sorry for all the torment I am sure she endured trying to prove what she believed 110% in...
