Did you ever try to stay up to see Santa Claus come?

I was more interested in seeing the reindeer.

No, because I was always told that he will be angry if I wasn't asleep when he comes. Also I was so excited about opening my presents the next morning, that I wanted to sleep to make morning come quicker.

No because i never really believed

No, because I never believed in santa.

Probably when I was a kid. I did believe Santa was real until I was about eight, but even then I had my doubts.

I did, I was going on six, and we lived in a nice neighborhood of rowhouses. And one of the neighbors across the way had a Santa come to their house, and I saw him from my bedroom window. It was late, there were streetlights. I got under the covers so fast I'm surprised they didn't catch fire.

My mom was trying to persuade me to stay in bed and go to sleep, so she was there to see this, and the story came back to haunt me at family gatherings for years. I actually remember it, probably because of all the family hilarity about it.

Being awake long after everyone else has been my normal sleep pattern since I was little. So I heard my parents whispering to each other and scrambling around to put presents under the tree from a very young age. Of course, I never told them this because I didn't want to get into trouble for being up too late with my books! I hope I didn't blurt out any spoilers to my little brother!

I didn't wait up to catch a glimpse, because I didn't want him to see me awake.

I have several times and we always missed him. My mom told me this past holiday that she and my father had to wait until we were sleeping hard when we tried doing that.

If you really want to prove that Saint Nick is real, you need to bait a bear trap with cookies and milk.
