i was 9 or 10, and i was snooping in mom's bedroom, and found a master list of gifts. she had quit putting name tags on gifts, and was intead numbering them on a piece of tape so we wouldn't know who it was for, and so wouldn't snoop

santa gifts had an S beside them, and i was pretty excited about the CDs, so when i saw they were from "santa", i knew
we still get santa gifts. my sister knows, and since we always celebrate xmas with the family, you still don't know what you're gonna get in your stocking. each person puts tissue paper on top of what they've put in so that folks adding stuff after them don't know.

I told my entire class in Kindergarten or 1st grade that he wasn't real. lol

Apparently, there was much crying (I have no memory of doing this).

I was only afraid of Santa on Christmas Eve night.

My mom would mix up the stories of Santa and the Sandman. She said if we tried to peek when Santa came he'd throw salt in our eyes.

I was watching "Family Feud" when I was like 8, and one of the categories was "Famous Fictional Children's Characters"...Santa was number one. So I asked mom what fictional meant and she told me to look it up b/c she couldn't ruin it for me. I was messed up for a week But I still get presents from Santa every year...I think my mom does it more for her than for me, but whatever, I still rack up.
