Marina, California, about 1976:
When Tim was about five, we took the children to visit Santa Claus at the Monterey Macy's store. We stood in the line, patiently waiting our turn. When it was Tim's turn, Santa turned to him and said, "Hi Tim!"
Huh???? We couldn't figure it out. How did Santa know Tim's name? Well, we reasoned, Santa did know every child's name, so why were we so surprised? Then, we remembered this Santa was just one of Santa's helpers - so maybe he knew Tim.
Santa smiled, spoke a little bit to Tim, and as he did so, we realized he was our bishop, filling in as a Santa's helper that season.
