A perfect example of this is what Schiebe told me happened when her own daughter stopped believing: "I said: "So now that you know the truth, you get to be Santa Claus, and you know what that means? You can get up in the middle of the night put things in people"s stockings, but you"ve got to make sure nobody sees you, and it"s got to be something you know they want. So then, the next Christmas morning, when I woke up, there were things in my stocking that I hadn"t gotten. The look on her face of how excited she was that she had been able to be Santa Claus, that was just spectacular."
