For those who just found out NOW, I hate to break you the news. I found out when I was like 7 or 8. My cousin told me that parents buy the presents, which pretty much made sense to me because: - A fat guy can't deliver millions of presents in one night. - How can Santa fit through a chimney with that gut. - How about houses with no chimney? - How come rich spoiled brats got much better presents than poor kids with excellent grades and good behavior? |

I'm confused... What do you mean there is no Santa? |

When I've asked him to present me toys, he came with the books - I realized then: there's no Santa. Or he doesn't speak Russian. |

Santa visits my house every year. He eats the cookies that I leave for him, and takes the sugarcubes for his reindeer. I have no idea what you are talking about. ;-) |

I never believed in Santa. It always pissed off the other kids when I told them he was a myth. |

I can't remember exactly when I found out. But I used to write long letters to Santa asking for tons of presents. and when my Mom would tell me they were too many I'd go: "Come on, they're all for free!" |

I'm not sure how old I was...all I can remember is the manor in which I found out. I was very little...you see...I was scared of the Tooth Fairy. One day, I had a little talk with my parents. They finally told me the Tooth Fairy wasn't real to ease up some tension. Then, I was like, "Then is the Easter Bunny real?" My dad smiled and said, "No." I was on a roll. So next I said, "Is Santa Real?" My mum was already mad at my dad for telling me about the Easter Bunny and gave him the evil glare, so my dad just smiled at me and laughed. Then I said, "AHA! I KNEW IT!" _______ Now, my cousin found out that Santa wasn't real when he was probably only four or five. My uncle is the type that always has to be right and must always have attention and get all the credit. Well, he did not think it was fair that he and my aunt were spending their own money on presents and did not get any recognition at all because they were from "Santa." He finally couldn't take it anymore with his self-centeredness, and told my cousin that Santa wasn't real. I think that's just so pathetic that it's funny. |

When my son was around 6 we were out having supper one night near Christmas and he looked at me from across the table and said "Mom, alot of kids in my class say that there isn't any such thing as Santa Clause. Is that true?" I sort of gave my husband a sidelong glance, and I decided I didn't want to lie, since he'd asked me point-blank, and that I'd come clean with Chris. I looked at him and smiled, and said "Christopher, I'm your Santa Clause." He looked at me wide-eyed and said "How do you get to all of those houses in one night???" |

When my nephew was young, about 8, I had an evil streak and told my brother we were going to solve the "Santa" issue once and for all, I would dress as Santa on Christmas Eve and bring their gifts, and my brother would "Shoot me" with his paint gun with Red paint, of course Killing Santa. we had a couple buddies in the police force that would have backed up the illusion and stuff... but my brother being the "GOOD BOY" couldn't do it, so he lied to my nephew for a while longer.. myself I thought it was a good idea, Kill Santa and then out of remorse continue to buy presents himself... it was sooo simple it would have worked.. HEHEHE |

I was little, and I remember one night, I found my dad in a Santa suit eating my cookies. At first, I got mad and didn't belive in Santa. Then he told me he IS Santa. I belived he actually was, he has the belly for it. I stopped beliving Santa when my friend said her dad was Santa. We had an argument about it for weeks. |

When I was a kid I always JUST missed seeing Santa. Mom and Dad and we five kids would pile into the car on Christmas Eve and drive around for awhile looking at Christmas lights on people's houses. But before we backed out of the driveway, Dad would remember he forgot to do something in the house such as turn off the lights, so he would go in and do that and then get back in the car and we would take off. Wouldn't you know - every single time when we got back into the house, there would be a big, white laundry bag full of presents! Darn! Missed seeing him again! Also, the Easter Bunny always left us a poem in addition to the baskets, but the baskets were really hard to find. |

Yeah, I was 7 or 8. But the spirit of Christmas still lives on! |
| kdj2hot 15.12.2005 14:35 |
I don't think I ever geniunely thought there was a Santa Claus. When I was really young I just didn't think about it much, it was just about getting presents. If Santa Claus brought them or my oarents, who cares really. I do remember trying to stay up late one time (okay, it was last year... not really, my attempt at humor) and seeing what happens. I can't remember if I was staying up because I expected to see Santa Clause or doing it to catch my dad or someone putting presents out. |

Being the cynical Jewish preschooler I was, I never bought the whole Santa thing. Actually, I was quite resentful towards Christmas when I was little because there was always only one row (or less) or Chanukkah items and decorations, when the rest of the store was filled to the brim with red and green. When I was in preschool, I made another kid cry by telling him the tooth fairy wasn't real. It was probably a good thing that I went to a Jewish preschool, because I probably would have upset a lot of little Christian kids. My mom would have gotten a lot of angry phone calls from parents. But I had issues in preschool, in general. |

I'm still upset that there's no Santa, actually. Parents are really setting their kids up for disappointment, which is why everyone's in therapy! Santa ruins lives! |

When one finds out there is no Santa, I believe there is a deep-seeded and long-lasting anger and resentment toward their parents and society in general, for lying to them for years. |

i don't actually remember believing in Santa, but i always told my parents i did believe so the had to buy me more presents! though, that was at the same time my parents divorced, so you know... presents so i wouldnt realise daddy didnt live with me any longer (i was 6, btw) |

After a while, people become comfortable with old things, and it's really hard to change. You'll learn this yourself as you get older! But the best of us are the ones who always remain open to new and better ideas on any subject, even if it means sacrificing things we've believed for a long time. |

It's usually the fact that parents have no clue how to raise their kids as they still haven't figured out themselves and... basically they make the same mistakes that their parents did and their parents' parents did... and so it goes until someone breaks the bloody circle... |

Good thing Santa doesn't exist. I was wondering why Santa never brought presents to poor kids in Africa. I thought he was one racist fat son of a bitch. |

uhm... very early I guess. First there was a contradiction between my parents who said Santa was coming, and my grandma (RIP) who said there was the Angel coming. Then they would make me stay in my room - with an adult keeping me from geting out (seriously, how stupid could I be to fall for that? xD), and after the presents were under the tree (I never waited till morning - so Santa always comes at about 7 or 8 on 24th's evening for me - Sonia Claus makes very nice presents), they would ring a bell. (c'moooon did they really think they would fool me???) Oh, one time my grandpa (RIP), dressed in Santa, but he got busted in the first minute when I recognized his shoes. xD Of course, for my parents' sake, I pretended to believe them, and would write letters n stuff. But I always knew my presents a few days before. THere was no hiding place for me to miss out. |
| Megamike The GREAT 16.12.2005 17:40 |
my parents had the perfect foil to finding presents... they held my cousins gifts and my Aunt held ours, and on Christmas Eve we would go to their place for dinner and oddly my dad and Uncle would leave for more egg nog.. EVERY YEAR.. of course they were switching gifts.. and WE knew what we were SUPPOSED to get and surprise, we never saw those presents until we went to our cousins.. and wow.. they had the same stuff we saw.. but by that time we had forgotten about it so we never put 2 and 2 together.. until later in life |
