And so it went for the rest of the evening. Santa would go off and tell another newcomer this fantastic story of his, and periodically return to the corner I was sitting in to try and convince me I was actually happy, and then he would go back to making everyone else happy for a while. He was incredibly good at this as far as most of the bar was concerned. I just couldn’t bring myself to see things the same way.

It’s probably true that once one has lived through as much history as I have, cynicism is the default outlook. I appreciated that Santa was always expecting the happy ending and the good outcome and all of that, because as old as he was, he’d still come of age in a modern world where violence is largely an exception rather than an expectation. In his understanding of things, the sad part of any story always has a happy counterpart, or if not happy at least bittersweet. That was why he preferred to focus on the reuniting of the heirloom with the family, while I couldn’t ignore the part where their son died at Christmas.
