I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister said: “There is no Santa Claus,” she jeered, “Even dummies know that!” I went up to Grandma that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth. Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between bites, I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She snorted, “Ridiculous!

I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, clutching that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for. I thought of everybody I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors, the kids at school, and the people who went to my church. Then I thought of Joe who was dreaming of a coat. But his family was poor and he had no money to buy one. I
