If you don’t believe in magic, will you ever find it?

Last week, I was confronted by a neighborhood incident, where a sweet little boy was telling the other smaller children that “Santa wasn’t real”, that “there was no Easter Bunny,” and that the “Tooth Fairy didn’t exist”! First, I was appalled. How could he, at the age of 10, ruin the childhood Christmas Magic for all these children? My children are only 4 and 7 — the magic is just beginning! They are so excited to see Santa and are looking forward to Christmas, they are even running to see where the elves are every night. They’ve made a list, written letters to Santa Claus, and daydreamed about how good they’ve been all year. These times bring so much joy, not only to them but to us as parents as well. We are all alive with imagination and creativity. We are using our minds to create a magical world of the North Pole, elves playing and leaving notes around the house, and occasionally getting into mischief, but more importantly, we are putting a focus on family time.

Why do we chill eggs and the rest of the world doesn’t? Since I went to Europe the past two years, I began wondering why it’s safe to leave eggs at room temperature in stores, stacked on shelves, out in the open and not in fridges like in the U.S.?
