Letter: Jonah and the Tooth Fairy
From Canon Owen Vigeon
Sir: When my eldest daughter was seven years old, we over-heard her instructing her kid brother on Christmas Eve in these words:
You see, Tim, Father Christmas is a game we children have to play with grown-ups, so that they won't be disappointed.
Are vicarages the last refuge of the Enlightenment?
Yours faithfully,
Owen Vigeon
