ah yes, never take a childs dream away. Great piece Ron,even in the ghetto one could get inventive to make a child a gift and still believe in Santa.If we lose our childhood dreams we've lost all.It's when an adult becomes the cynic they forget what it is like to be a child with awe ,wonder and anticipation.
