9 year old Kate. Decorating the Tree. Dad was a t work..they were waiting. Dad had an office job. Christmas Eve. 4 or 5 days went by. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing. Kate went to start a fire…that is when she noticed the smell. The firemen pulled her dead father out. He had an arm full of presents. He slipped and broke his neck. That is how Kate learned there was no Santa Clause.
