father christmas

when i was around 7 i found out that my mom would go get my presents from my grandmothers house on christmas eve when i asked her about it she said that santa wanted to save time and just give them to my grandma early cause santa knew we were always good. well i was outraged at this and then i shouted "grandma is cheeting on grandpa and she is having an affair with santa!!" i cried for a long while and i didnt talk to my grandma when we went over to her house on christmas morning but then she gave me my present from her and things were fine. but for the longest time i thought my grandma was doing santa clause!

Obviously when I was little I believed in Santa Claus.... but this was reinforced by our living near an Air Force Base. On Christmas eve, my dad waited until a plane flew over our house without landing lights on yet, and then called us over to point out Rudolph's blinking red nose (the anti-collision red light on the belly of the plane). Real proof!

This is actually about a 4 year old boy that I baby-sit sometimes.

This past Christmas, "Santa" visited him during the Christmas Eve party his family was having. The poor kid freaked out and ran underneath the table. He was so scared because he hadn't been such a good boy that year and he knew from the song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" that Santa had always been watching him. He was afraid Santa was going to yell at him.

when i was little, i used to believe in santa.Then my mom would stand in front of my room and tell my dad it was ok to get all of the presents out. Thats when i found out about santa.

=========

I believed in Santa until I was about 10, but I would have stopped sooner if it wasn't for this. One day when I was 8 years old, my mom was watching the news. They were showing some sort of clip of Santa and his reindeer flying through the air. I thought that this was footage that someone had captured of Santa! My mom told me that it was and someone from Europe had videotaped it. I really believed this! Later did I find out it was just something from a movie.

I used to believe that if you kept your stocking up, your keep getting more stuff in it. Cuz think about it, being 4 or 5 and you put your stocking up xmas eve (not knowing the difference b/t xmas and another day) and you wake up and you have candy and stuff in it. I did it and then realized that it ain't gonna work after about 2 weeks of trying!

Crystal, the believer!

When I was about 8 years old, I had this Barney Bedtime Book and it was around Christmas Time. They kept playing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Well, the lyrics creeped me out and I thought Santa meant to burn my eyes out with the Sandman(the Barney book had a story about him). So I laid there in bed, on Christmas Eve shaking in fear.

(I have another one!)

I once, about 7, believed that the Tooth Fairy would yank all my teeth out. I always woke up in the middle of the night to make sure my mouth was shut.

at christmas time, my brothers and mom (parents are divorced) they would put salt (me thinking it was snow) and they would put a footprint there, and when it was christmas morning i actually believed it was Santa

when i was a kid my mother made me believe that santa was to be left ice tea or coffee instead of milk because he needed the energy for the rest of the night.well a few years later i finally relized why . my mother is lactose intolerant. and guess what her favorite drinks are?

When I was a young child, I want to test if Santa really exists, so send a letter asking for my present a ride with him in the christmas day. Later, I realized that I would have to wait one entire year to get a real present just because I was wanting to test something that must be true, so I wrote another letter cancelling the ride and asking a Super Nintendo

I used to worry about how Santa could get into our house safely. We had an oil burning stove and the Chimney was very small. Even if he had enough Magic to get down the Chimney..... it would burn him up when he got there. I was so upset about Santa burning up, that my Mama finally told me that, she left the door unlocked just special on Christmas Eve so that Santa could come in. That helped me to come up with special stories for my children when we had no chimney or fireplace for him to come down. I was thrilled, as an adult, when the movie "The Santa Clause" came out! That just answered all of my questions!

i used to beileve that if you where bad Santa brought you a bag of light switches. My parents never wipped me so I had no idea there was any other kind of switch. I was 5

I believed in Santa until I was ten, even though I pretended I didn't. Then my parents wrapped the little presents for the stocking in the same paper they'd used to wrap the presents under the tree which I'd always known came from them. Sadly I was smart so I realised the truth and there were tears on Christmas morning!

You know how "Santa"is an anagram of "Satan"? Instead af Santa, I would call him Father Christmas because I didn't want to get a gift from the devil! I was so bloody stupid...

One christmas I had a HUGE list for santa. And the contents weren't that cheap, either. So my dad told me to pick just one to which I scolded him, "Don't worry, daddy. They're from Santa! It's FREE!" Yeah, I didn't know the value of a dollar back then.

I always believed in santa untill in was 14!
And then on day before christmas i was nosing in my mums room to look at my presents and then in this bag were some wrapped up.
And on christmas day i looked in my sack and saw the presents that were wrapped in the same wrapping paper and even the same shapes!
I cry when i started to open them and told my mum that i just had a very bad headache and that i felt sick.
To hide my sadness of the truth on santa

Once in second grade my friend told me that she had heard the jingle bells of "Santa's" sleigh on top of her roof on Christmas Eve.

Now in seventh grade we both know the truth about "Santa Clause".

I have to say though it was fun in my younger years believing in him!

Even though I know he's not real, I tried in the last few years to convince my parents that I really believed so I could get more presents...I know its a naughty idea but it really did work for two more years before they found out what my plan had been!

I stopped believing in Santa Clause when i was 7 bc she used carpet deodorizor on the bottom of my dad's shoes to make it look like 'Santa' had came. I made the mistake and smelled it and it smelled like roses so that ruined it for me and my brohter!!!

I used to believe in Santa till I was 21 years old. When I saw my mum in my room filling my stocking and i saw my dad drinking the beer.

When I was 8 years-old I put out cookies and beer for santa claus and the next morning my dad smelt like beer and had cookie crums in his beard
