When I was a little girl, my parent's had a magical way of delivering some of our gifts from Santa.  After our Christmas eve meal,  my dad would excuse himself and about an hour later there was a doorbell ring at the front door.  In walked Santa and he would deliver a couple of gifts and leave.

But I was an observant little girl.  My dad had very unique hands, he was a boxer and his hands were huge, weather worn and very distinctive.  Let's just say Santa should have worn gloves. And why did he come in the front door?  Santa was supposed to come down the chimney when kids were asleep.  This did not add up to be.

There is a website called Osmo and they have compiled an adorable list of how kids think Santa delivers presents.  Here are the top 15. 15) He brings bigger gifts through the back door; 14) He makes the chimney bigger; 13) Has a shrink ray ; 12) Rewinds time;11)Other Santa's help.

The top ten include: 10) Has present station set up in each country;9)Puts everyone in the world to sleep;8)Freezes time; 7) The elves help;6) Moves really fast;5) Walks through walls;4)Teleporting; 3)Magic!; 2) Comes down the chimney and number one; he uses a special key that unlocks every door in the world.
