    • Story for Tilly's Kid's side: Mr. Feuer Quick story from my Santa experience. I went into the rooms talking about how to stay off the naughty list.  You have to go to school, do your homework and your chores and listen to your teachers.  You also have to be kind and share.  So I went up to a 1st grader who already opened his present (it was plastic zoo animals).  I said, "that looks like such a fun toy, do you like it."  He said yeah, and then he handed me the little plastic bear and said" Here, this is for you."  I said, "Don't you want to share this with your friends?"  He said, "You are my friend Santa."  I had to keep it.  I have it on my desk now but I'm going to make it a Christmas tree ornament.
