The hidden stash

My son claims he knows where we hide the Christmas presents. 

Disclaimer: none of our kids have ever believed in Santa. They've always understood, from the beginning, that while the character had a historical origin, it's become a modern way of giving anonymously.

Anyway.

He made this claim boldly, as if it meant we had no secrets. So I told him to go find one of his and he could open it. Right there and then, no holding back. 

He hesitated, then said he didn't want to spoil it for himself or anyone else.

Sure.

(disclaimer: we don't even hide them in the house, the hiding place has been off site for years)
