Dear Prudy,

Just in the last week or so, when I'm out and about, I've been encountering this, well, old (OK, elderly, like me) woman, very short, wears a nice coat and a proper hat, walks with a stick, who makes some sort of (presumably) seasonal comment as we pass on the sidewalk, like, for example, the other day, something about snow and Christmas. Today she said, "Got your chimney all cleaned out for Santa?"

What should I tell the children?
