Santa Claus

Post Reply New Topic

To be honest I think it's meaner to lie to kids most of their childhood and then have to disappoint them at the end. Why not just tell the truth from the start and tell you which family members have bought you the presents? Surely the presents mean more coming from Auntie Who-ever than Santa Claus.

I agree. I just found it confusing and contradictory that supposedly Santa brought the presents but each present had a label on it wishing me a happy Christmas and saying which aunt/uncle it was from. I reached the logical conclusion that Santa must work for the post office but had a weird uniform and didn't use a van to deliver the mail like the regular postman.

My parents' excuse for that dilemma was that my family gave the presents to santa and then he delivers them. Which seems really pointless now I think about it.

I wasn't dissapointed when I figured out santa wasn't real. I just grew out of the mythos. I enjoyed the mythos while it lasted. I would hate to be told before I was ready to understand.

I enjoyed believing too. A little spark of magic.
However, I found out the truth very early, when I was 6. My older cousin told me that he saw my Mom buying the presents for me. I was so sad on Christmas morning when I found the exact same presents he told me about. That was the final proof.

That cousin was mean for ruining the surprise of what the presents were. Though a lot of the time if I ask for a specific thing I expect it to be that exact thing.

I cannot count the millions of times Santa didn't get me what I asked for. The senile twit never got me that baby born.

I stopped believing at 8 years old because I asked my mum and she asked me if I really wanted to know and she admitted that there was no Santa.

I have never believed in santa at all.

I'm not sure if I ever really believed

Around age 3 for santa, when it occured to me that the planet has hundreds (3 year old me didnt quite grasp big numbers) of kids, and he couldnt possibly deliver that many presents in a night. And that we didnt have a chimney.

A few years later for god, and only a few years ago did I even hear of the easter bunny.

For some reason my relatives still put santa in the name spot on presents, even though I'm 15...

I think we've probably lost the younger audience and the believers here...
I don't get why he would allow himself to be impersonated by many people as everyone else would complain.
Also... how he is able to balance a sleigh and reindeers on a pointy roof is in reality impossible.
