‘A friend bought me the Cobra Emperor GI Joe as a XMas gift and 2 days later Santa brought me the same thing. I asked my mother how Santa wouldn’t have known my friend bought it for me and she said Santa had already wrapped it. That’s when I put it together and we had a talk about how I was NOT to discuss it with anyone at school or my younger cousins. I was 23.’

‘I think was 10 or 11, had my suspicions. So I hid my iPod nano with the camera. Went down before everybody got up and retrieved the evidence.’

‘I was 8 when I found a Toys “R” Us receipt in my mom’s purse for the exact Lego set “Santa” brought me. I remember just staring at it like I had uncovered some huge government secret and then quietly deciding to pretend I still believed for my little brother.’

‘Never did. My mom didn’t believe in lying to us. So she told us the stories about Santa but made sure we knew that they were just stories. We still did the cookies and milk thing, etc. She didn’t want the inevitable day to come when we would find out it was fake and shatter our feelings, plus question what she told us. So.
‘Didn’t really make any difference. Christmas was still magical. We had the snow, we had the festivities, the time off school, we had the presents, we just viewed it more as a family thing and appreciated it more than other kids I think. Which like, that’s the whole point so, if I ever have kids I’m doing the same thing.’

‘I never believed in Santa, the tooth fairy, Easter Bunny, any of it. I’ve been a skeptic my whole life.
I am not very fun to be around.’
