Her spontaneous answer to your tearful query saved your belief in Santa and the skills of your carpenter father while giving you a memory of a mother who knows how to save the day! She deserves a special thougt this Christmas. You are very fortunate to have had such parents...thank you for sharing them with us this holiday season. Genevieve,
