Those are all very good explanations of what Santa represents that I'm sure I'll make use of over the next several years. Thank you, Wendy.

Because other than a few cookies and a glass of milk, no one thinks to buy a present for Santa. When we give presents to those than cannot afford to reciprocate, we have always signed it from Santa. And I've explained how all of us can stand in as Santa, giving without the need for receiving. And I'm so glad that your son got exactly what he wanted. Oh, and thanks for the advice on the Calorimetry. I do feel better. I’ve always talked about Santa in terms of how he represents unconditional generosity, of giving without the need for receiving.
