:52:02
- Oh.
- Oh.
:52:04
They were at each other
all the time.
:52:06
But on Christmas, they tried
to make the holiday special.
:52:10
My dad went through this charade
so I'd believe in Santa Claus.
:52:14
He put a cot by the fireplace
so Santa could take a nap...
:52:17
Like he has time to take a nap!
:52:19
Consider the amount of gifts
he would have to... deliver.
:52:23
Why would he nap? He
would probably need some coffee.
:52:25
Yeah. And there was
cocoa and cookies.
:52:30
And carrots for the reindeer.
:52:32
That's a good gesture.
The reindeer love carrots.
:52:35
And the thought is
important to them, too.
:52:37
Yeah. And I'd wake up and the cocoa
and cookies would be gone
:52:42
and the cot would be mussed
and the carrots gnawed.
:52:45
They swallow them. If they're
fresh they'll eat 'em like that.
:52:49
They love red bell peppers, too.
:52:51
You know the stories.
If you read...
:52:55
And there would be incredible
presents under the tree.
:52:59
One year was a rocking horse,
and I named it Harvey.
:53:03
And the next year was
a little red wagon,
:53:05
which I made a lemonade stand,
which was great.
:53:08
And the last year was...
:53:11
It was just... a Baby Doll. She was
pink and soft and beautiful.
:53:17
- Beautiful?
- Yes.
:53:21
I believed in Santa so much
I'd get in fights at school
:53:23
with kids who tried to tell me
that he didn't exist.
:53:26
And one day
I came home with a bloody nose.
:53:29
That's when my parents
decided to tell me to...
:53:32
grow up.
:53:34
I was devastated, and...
:53:38
Good, Carol! This is great
sleigh-riding conversation!
:53:41
- I'm a terrible sleigh con-..
- It's fine conversation.
:53:45
A person just wants something
to believe in, you know?
:53:48
Yes, I know. Yes, I know.
:53:52
OK, we have cocoa.
:53:54
We have a blanket.
We have a horse-drawn sleigh.
:53:57
The only thing that's...
