didn't you ever ask your parents why Santa didn't give presents to the poor kids? I'm not interested in the response "I didn't believe in Santa" or anything like that, so it will have no shot at best answer.

I believed in Santa Claus until I was 5 or 6 years old. I found easter candy in the kitchen cupboard that was exactly what the Easter Bunny had brought in our baskets. When I asked Mom about it, she said, "You don't really believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus anymore do you?" A rude awakening to fantasy.
At the age of 5, I had no real picture of what life for most people could be like. I knew I had a home and went to school, was clothed and fed, and believed that all children had the same. Naive as that, though each year of life, taught by other people, the positive and negative aspects of life.
Even television, at that time, would have painted a rosy picture, because even though a story might have been aired where the child was poor, the miracle of Santa would still have presented itself because most television ended happily.

I found out about Santa when i was like 6 maybe 7. I never asked that because i didn't know that there was poor children, if you are refering to like starving kids in a poor areas. I lived in a well off area, if you mean the poor kids around, and well i didn't know alot at that age to be honest. But now i do know, i always give the "poor kids" a little something that Santa can't get for them.

I did wonder that and how come my mom would buy stuff for the kids who didnt get anything for christmas. When I ask my mom she really didn't have the right answer at the time and thats when I was told there was no Santa, that my mom was my santa and she loved helping the kids that would not get very much. That's why I give to the kids in my community that will not have Christmas.

When I was younger and believed in Santa Claus I didn't realize there were poor kids out there that didn't get presents. When I was 4-5 yrs. old we were poor and I wanted a baby doll for Christmas but got a coloring book and peanut brittle instead. Didn't think about the fact that Santa should have been able to get me the doll even if we were poor.

I did, I did not understand why Santa would pick and choose, specially with good kids that just happened to be poor, so I actually disliked Santa regardless of the presents I got.

Even the poor kids got presents from Santa when I grew up.

I don't think I ever thought of that as a kid, I was probably very wrapped up in the presents I was getting myself but around here I know that the church gives to all the poor people so they probably had presents too. I never lived in a city so I guess I have never know a poor family that didn't get presents. Or I guess what im trying to say is that I didnt know any kids when I was a kid that didn't get presents.

No, I always assumed that he did. But Santa only brought us one or two gifts at my house. Everything else came from our parents or relatives. I always thought the poor kids just didn't have family or they obviously didn't have enough money. Santa also did not wrap the presents he brought to us. They were left unopened under the tree.

Poor children not getting presents at christmas isn't something you really understand/know about before you stop believing in Santa.
