[MOSAIC] influences..

One of the teachers at our school bought 10 brand new bikes with helmets 
and held drawings in 10 classrooms. She has no children of her own and 
decided to do this. She sat down with my class in the rug area and spoke 
to them about why she did this. She asked if there was anyone in the 
room who didn't believe in Christmas...one of the boys asked, 
(innocence? naivete? greed?)  "If I say that I don't believe in 
Christmas, does that mean I don't get any presents?"
"...even a single drop of red will tint a can of white paint."  ---from
