What was your 1st reactions when you found out that Santa wasn't real?

Answer 1

dude santa is real i saw him. hes about 8 feet tall not as fat as people make him look, hes super white and has rosy cheeks. he has a long white beard, and he doenst look his age, giving taht hes hundreds of years old, but hes an inmortal so its doesnt matter to him. he does magic, not illusions and his reindeer are also inmortal, but rudolph unfortanetly didnt know about a contract of inmortality and died in a tragic crash(they say he was under the influence). but anyhow santa is real.

Answer 2

Can you take a story?

I was 8 y/o, up at Ohio, where there was snow snow snow, so I knew that it was Santa making that noise on the rooftop that Christmas Eve. I was visiting my cousins; Texas just didn't have snow, so this was a treat to actually hear Santa.

The next morning, we were opening up presents, and my mom was sitting next to me. I pulled out a doll. I was never the doll type little girl, so I turned to my mom and said 'Mommy, I wish Santa had not given me this doll. I don't like dolls". Then I noticed the look on her face.

And that dim light in my head finally burst into full radiance - Oh no, Mom is Santa Clause! And I felt so awful, figuring I had hurt her feelings.

When I checked years later with Mom, she claims to not remember the incident, but I think she was just being a good mom, and understood more than I realized.

Hey, Ma, thanks for the doll; I ended up liking her fine, anyway!

Answer 3

I can't really remember - it dawned on me very slowly over my childhood so there was no trauma involved. We still kept up the pretence though, as reaching down with my feet and feeling a pillowcase full of crackly parcels at the foot of the bed was part of the Christmas magic.

Back in the 1970s, though, I truly HATED my son's first-school head teacher. My child was 5 years old when Miss Moore told the whole class that they were too big now to believe in Father Christmas, and that he was really their parents. That awful (unmarried, childless) woman had no business interfering in what is very essentially a private, family affair. She destroyed the magic for my little boy in a very horrible way.

Answer 4

Ts,ts,ts...,Dear mannyhogg..., my first reaction when I heard somebody (a local communist party officer who came to my school to open eyes to socialist youth) saying that Santa wasn't real was to try hard to hide that I was about to burst out of laughter. I was ten, then.

By the way, allow me to ask something. Has it ever happen to you that in the midst of problems and fuss around you, things start clearing up? Has it ever happen to you that when least you expected a solution just suddenly appear? Well, who made it happen, hein? Who?

If you don't know even now, you must have been either quite a bad boy or didn't have enough luck in life.

Answer 5

Dude, hate to be the one to break it to you. But, Santa *is* real.

True, there is no jolly old elf that flies around handing out toys to the good girls and boys. However, Santa is much more than that. Santa is the Spirit of Christmas and the Spirit of Christmas is alive and well and definitely worth believing in.

Answer 6

Santa is real, he comes every year loaded with presents and he is black in Germany and white in UK but he must get all the soot on the way over from the chimneys in Germany. Of course he is real if you don't believe what do you do?

Answer 7

I had 3 older brothers. I never believed in Santa.

Answer 8

That there can be a Santa in all humans.
It was a thrilling realisation.
Just wished that it was not just a year end phenomenon & wished that good citizens should be more jolly & generous all the time.

Answer 9

That's really sad. Sort of explains why I've had no presents since moving out of parents' home 20 odd years' ago.

At least the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny are real eh?

Answer 10

I really do not remember ,what is important though, is now. Does Santa want to be real in all the children's lives. little and big.
