Of course you aren’t going as Santa.” Ohhhhh. That’s what I said about the Christmas movie costume party. “That does ring a bell.” “You also said Santa as a nickname gave you the ick.” I gasp, all over the top. “What is wrong with me? Am I a Santa hater?” He smiles smugly. “Maybe you are.” “No! I can’t be.”
