when about 6 i was terrified of having a fat bearded old man in my house in the middle of the night whatever he was doing! This fear used to stop me sleeping [rather than the actual excitment of christmas!] eventaully when i plucked up the courage to tell Mum she gave in and told me the truth which at that time was releaving!
A childhood belief about father christmas
others believed things like this
- I thought if 3 cards stopped at a 3-way stop sign then they had to stop forever until Christmas.Anon
- I was told that for every christmas carol i sang before christmas time santa would give me one less present!— K
- My brother (who was 6 at the time) would never flush the toilet in fear of our new house being blown up! Anon
- I belived that santa came every night to se if i was sleeping— david
- I used to believe that towels were sleeping ghosts, and at night they would come out and get you— bajd
- I used to believe my dolls would come to life at night and have a party while i was sleeping. — phil(:
