There was only one obvious conclusion to reach from this mountain of evidence: our family was too strange and weird for even Santa Claus to come visit, and my poor parents were trying to protect us from the embarrassment, this humiliation of rejection by Santa, who was jolly — but let's face it, he was also very judgmental.
Sólo hay una conclusión obvia a la que se llega con esta pila de evidencia: nuestra familia era demasiado rara incluso para que Santa Clós viniera a visitarnos, y mis pobres padres estaban tratando de protegernos de la vergüenza, de la humillación del rechazo de Santa, quien era alegre. Pero, aceptémoslo, también era un juzgón.
