Some children nah kay bout Christmas. Dem nah kay bout Santa Claus as long as dem get dem presents.
Dem boys does wonder how many children dese days believe in Santa Claus. In dem boys days a person use to have four stages in life. Stage 1 was believing in Santa Claus. Stage 2 was when yuh stop believing in Santa Claus. Stage 3 was becoming Santa Claus to all yuh children and grandchildren. And Stage 4 is when you start fuh look like Santa Claus.
