When did students stop believing in Santa Claus?
By Anna Harman
Growing up, Santa Claus was an annual tradition in my house. On Christmas Eve, we would leave cookies and milk on the kitchen counter and rush to bed so Santa could come and bring us gifts. We’d watch him on the “Santa Tracker '' app and then go to bed, although we never could fall asleep.
