I never believed. My mum thought it was cruel to tell kids lies. Or that sounds a bit harsh. Let's say she never encouraged us to believe.

Your mom is the best! I also believe that one should never lie to children.

Of all the things in the world, it does seem a weird one to lie about. A big guy in a red suit.

I never believed as I was never encouraged to.

Yeah, that's basically mum. She never encouraged us and when we asked she just told us to keep quiet if others wanted their kids to believe.

I admit... I believed in Baby Jesus (we didn't used to believe in Santa here in my area) and it was fun and exciting.
Even my daughter, now that she knows the truth, told me that she liked the idea of having Baby Jesus bringing her gifts...

That's a different take. Makes more sense than a big guy in a red suit really. Considering the point of Christmas from a religious standpoint and all. :)

ahaha if you say so... hehe (maybe it makes me look less stupid....)!! And yes, here we have a lot of stuff that we see in a religious way, not by choice but by tradition!

Hmmmm... I think I was 8 or 9 when I made that discovery. Santa's handwriting looked so much like mother's. ;)
