Ah how refreshing a fellow believer :kiss:

I found out when I was like 7/8.. caught my mami putting the presents under the tree. I went off to tell my little sister and brother then they cried for hours over it! :laugh:

On X-mas eve I saw my Dad carry a Big Box at 11.30

lol

sorry ignore that lol

Santa was real, once

His name is a corruption of St Nicholas (See here for more details)

He is not to be confused with Father Christmas who were two separate entities, as the latter is more related to the Green Man tradition

For the totally committed the North American Aerospace Defence Command has a Santa tracking website

BTW

I can not remember when I learned the truth about this tradition, all I can remember is I do not have a Christmas spirit, because it died in the night suddenly in 1986 :sad:

See look at Sticks post, Santa IS REAL. I knew it lol

The Christmas' where I believed in Santa were definetely the best and the most magical. When I was 11/12 and knew he wasn't real it wasn't the same.

Still I don't blame my parents for pretending Santa gave presents as it made Christmas special not that I don't love Christmas because I do and it's my favourite time of the year.

At around the age of 8, I kind of realised through the fact that I saw one of my Christmas presents (it wasn't hidden very well). I was into writing the notes and putting them in the fireplace and everything. At that stage, part of me knew it wasn't true but I still wanted to believe in Santa! It didn't upset me greatly, but I did get a little emotional. After that it all sort of wore off.

I honestly can't remember. Though I was pretty old when I found out, older than others anyway, I've always been really gullible.

well the longer the better really,it makes it more exciting:spin2:

My dad still gives me presents from 'Santa' although he knows we dont belive in him, he just does it to give us extra presents like socks :laugh:

Santa got drunk one night and crashed so the elves had to hand deliver the boxes to the door.
