Confession: I never liked Santa Claus
 

Even when I was really little, I didn't like him. I thought Santa was a hypocrite before I even knew what the word meant. I watched Rudolph and was REALLY mad at Santa because he wouldn't let Rudolph be on his team because of his nose... until he needed that nose. It just pissed me off and I thought Santa was a mean old coot. I also didn't want to sit in some strange old man's lap when I saw Santas in stores. My mom said she could never make me go up to Santa. I'd start crying.

So to this day, I love Christmas scenes with reindeer in them, but if Santa is part of them, I won't buy them or decorate with them.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

So I guess you wenr that upset when you found out he didnt exist then??!!

Speaking of which what excuses did your parents give you when if you said "how does Santa deliever my presents when we aint got a chimney?" My dad told me he had a magic key to get him into everyones houses. :roll:

lmao...santa has a magic key to our house as well :lol:

Becky ...I cant beleive you never liked Santa..thats quite shocking! I thought everyone liked Santa :?

My dad told me the same thing. Makes him seem like a burglar doesn't?

I know lol how stupid do parents think kids are!! Im gonna come up with a much better reason for my kids :D

No, I wasn't upset at all. I was always suspsicious of him, I suppose. LOL We didn't have a chimney either. I guess I thought he used the door. I really don't remember. I do remember looking out my window at the stars on Christmas Eve, watching for Rudolph's nose. I was probably more upset about finding out that HE didn't exist so the whole "shock" of Santa being a fake took the backburner. LOL

Becky

I never asked those kinds of questions.. God I was gullible!

Seeing as we had a gas fire and over here we have very small chimney pots I also got told the magic key story, lolal.

...and I'm just curious if this is true, but I heard that the original Saint Nick actually went around stealing things from homes, lolal....it's probably not true, but anyone know who it was really based on, and what the original guy did?

That's all I could find that held any factual information. I hope it drenches your thirst for knowledge, Thomas. :D
