Raymond Pert: When a boy, I kept being told by kids older than I that there was no Santa. I'd wake up on Christmas morning and under the tree I'd find a baseball mitt or a farm set or a new space heater and this continued year after year ... in high school, it'd be a study desk or a new pair of slacks and then I got older and older and my parents helped me with a down payment on the house I live in now and after last Christmas I have new books to read and dvd's to watch. ... There's definitely a Santa Claus. Still, in my middle age, people still ask me, "Was Santa good to you?" and I say, "Yes, he certainly was." I never say, "Oh, there's no Santa." I always try to tell the truth.

DFO: Well done.
