As children, we learned how little elves work at a sweatshop in the middle of gnome-man's land making toys for girls and boys. We were told it's at the
North Pole, and it's called Santa's Workshop. And we were told how Santa delivers those presents to children all around the world on Christmas Eve. In a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. Landing on rooftops and climbing down chimneys in the middle of the night.
Nothing in that story could
mess with a kid's head. But it's been a closely guarded secret how Santa keeps track of all the little boys and girlswho's naughty and nicewithout confusing their names. Now, his secret is out of the big red bag. We might as well admit it. Years ago, the elves at Wordlab helped Santa set up a computer program to generate
Secret Christmas Names for kids.
My therapist says I'll be all right; now I know it wasn't my father, but Santa, who wrote "To: Lucky Hot-Fairy" on my presents.
