When I was in first grade, I got into a big argument with my classmates, who unanimously were trying to convince me that Santa Claus wasn't real. I understood by then that it was my older family members putting the presents under the tree and eating the cookies and I made that clear, but that wasn't enough for them. They were trying to convince me that St. Nicolas of Myra never existed. Ironically, this controversy took place in a Catholic school, yet the teacher refused to vouch for St. Nick's existence.
