This is why I believed in Santa till I was like 10. One year, my sister and I got a couple big presents, but I knew my folks were in a bad financial spot. "There's no way Mom and Dad could afford this, it must've been Santa!"
Turns out it was just more debt :(
But you know what, I bet your folks would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I imagine your excitement was worth it for them.
This warms and chills my heart at the same time.
Same. My heart is the same on average, but it's still uncomfortable.
