DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE THERE WAS SUCH A BEING AS SANTA CLAUS WHEN YOU WAS A CHILD?

I sure did until my older sister grabbed me by the hand and took me to my parents' closet and showed me all the presents and told me there was no Santa.  The magic was gone and I lost my zest for presents once I found out my parents spent their money and it wasn't magically from Santa. To this day I do not really like to get presents.

For sure!  And, I remember finding out the truth.  I was in second grade and will never forget what I was wearing and where I was sitting in the classroom.

No.  I never believed it.  I also never told my daughter that Santa was real, I never wanted to lie to her, I wanted her to be able to trust me.  I did talk about Santa being representative of the spirit of Christmas.

 

Her dad used to play the part of Santa at church parties so that gave her a clue, also, lol.

When I was about 7 my brothers were telling me there was no Santa but I so strongly believed I just wouldn't trust them. I really really really wanted this one certain doll and I did not tell anyone but Santa - I so trusted he would bring it. Christmas came and , of course, I did not get the doll, and I was devistated. I guess I cried & cried because I thought Santa didn't  bring it for me because I was bad. Anyway , I was so devistated my Mom decided the only thing to do was tell me the truth about Santa.I was the baby and I know it broke her heart to tell me. I got the doll for my January birthday. 2 years later we had a new baby brother - my older brothers enlightened him about Santa from the beginning - no more huge dissappointments at our house.

I certainly believe in St Nick ,who was a real person, now.

 

I also believed in Santa, when I was a child
