Our house also had no fireplace, just a built-in book cabinet with a counter surface/edge that was good for hanging stockings from. When we moved in, and brought up the Santa issue, Mom assured us that she would mail Santa a key to our front door.
When I noticed that Department Store A had a different Santa than Department Store B, Mom confided in me that they were actually all Santa's Helpers, since the real Santa Claus would need to be running things up at the North Pole (it's the busy season, after all). So, at age 4 or 5, I was already helping to "keep the secret going," even if it was a different version of the secret.
