I have the greatest story about this. My dad got me a stuffed lion and he couldn't wrap it so he put it in a box from one of those huge soup pots and wrapped that. When I tore off the paper, I got soooo disappointed and handed it to my mother because I thought Santa had made a mistake and it was really for her. My dad had the most priceless look on his face because he didn't know what to do. He had to tell me to open the box but he couldn't do it without my figuring out that it was really from him. I felt too bad for him to be mad at him!

No, At first, I was sad when I learned that the real Santa Claus died in 343 CE. I realized the whole thing that parents telling their children, there is a Santa Claus was honoring a man who would give gifts to the poor, children, and other people during his lifetime. Now that I am a father. I get great joy at seeing my four year old sitting on Santa's lap, writing Santa a letter, and reading updates on Santa's trip around the world with the help of the US Northern Command.

No. I found out there was no Santa when I was 3 (just before my 4th birthday) and my grandma took me to see him. I asked him to bring my mom back from being dead (she had died 3 months earlier). That was how I found out, she had to explain to me why it was not going to happen and about Santa. (Santa went on a bender and never played St. Nick for the kids again). I was already mad at my mom for dying so the Santa thing seemed small potatoes in comparision.

I am just mad abut santa claus in general. You know it is interesting how they make him look like the image of
God big white beard sitting on a throne judging children what a blasphemy. I was mad at my mom and I also remember lieing to them about me still believing in him at around the age of 9. Tell me this when else is it good to lie to our children . never I say.

I grew up in a God free home, but strangely they had no trouble telling me there was a Santa; that is until I woke my mom up from a drunken stupor on Christmas eve asking if Santa had come.
She just looked at me and said, "Santa ain't real, go to bed."
I was too young, like 5 to be mad; just really, really confused.

Nope. That's because they told me from the very beginning that Santa Claus didn't exist. I was never once told that Santa was real, and was completely discouraged from ever developing any sort of belief in him.

I was pretty upset about it, actually.
Not about the fact that my parents were giving me presents rather than some fat guy, but more about how I felt like a big part of my life was a lie.
I got over it though, come christmas morning, because I liked my presents all the same.

Well, yes, at first But then, we have christmas to celebrate his birthday, so it's all right. I was really unnerved at first. Gee, I thought, no Santa? Then I realized, hey, the whole world stops every December 25th to recognize this fictional character's fictional birthday. It's kinda beautiful, id'n it.

No, I was actually very great full for the care they put into our Christmas. I knew we did not have alot of money yet they did the best they could to give us a fair amount of gifts. I was bewildered at first but soon my thoughts went to being appreciative of them.
