WHEN WE MOVED INTO OUR OLD HOUSE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,
THERE WASN'T A FIREPLACE. I ASKED MY OLDER SISTER HOW
SANTA CAME DOWN THE CHIMNEY, SINCE THERE WAS NO FIREPLACE.
THERE WAS A LOOSE FLOORBOARD THAT WAS MOVEABLE, UNDER-
NEATH MY BED. MY SISTER TOLD ME THAT SANTA GOT INTO THE
HOUSE BY COMING THROUGH THE LOOSE BOARD.
