Jimmy and now Santa....where will it all end?

lounakin · 22-11-2012 4:51pm

I was 5, a disenchanted adult decided to tell me. It came as a shock and I still remember the feeling!

FatherLen · 22-11-2012 4:52pm

one christmas i realised the wrapping paper for my presents was the same style my mam had been using to wrap all the presents. i put two and two together.

toexpress · 22-11-2012 4:52pm

I'm so very confused by this? What does it all mean? Dear god wont someone please tell me??????

Kylo Ren · 22-11-2012 4:53pm

I am 12 and what is this?

Duggy747 · 22-11-2012 4:53pm

I was determined to prove Santa existed one year, I laid booby traps around the fire place like a piece of cereal box cardboard so when he emerged from the chimney he'd leave a sooty footprint.

The next morning I ran down and found a big footprint from a welly on the cardboard, thought I was a genius for having caught a trace of him.

Funny, don't even remember what I got as a present that year but I always remember that :pac:

Pilotdude5 · 22-11-2012 4:53pm

9, I found the presents in the car boot

Didn't say anything for two years so I could keep getting them though

toexpress · 22-11-2012 4:54pm

So you are all saying there is no Santa????

sfwcork · 22-11-2012 4:56pm

yeah i know I have a few spelling errors in my post

Get over it like. Santa never brought me a dictionary

LizT · 22-11-2012 4:57pm

I was around 10/11. I left a note out for Santa and my older sis wrote the response. I recognized her writing and Christmas was ruined forever.

Hamhide · 22-11-2012 4:57pm

I was about 11, i dont really remember how i found out but i remember crying for ages while my mam hugged me.haunts me today..

Reminds of the comedian Jason Manford talking about his father having the same tradition every Christmas Eve whereby he would shout out the window within earshot of his kids :"I don't care who you are but you can take those reindeer off my roof"

Scanlas The 2nd · 22-11-2012 5:03pm

Think I was about 9, found the presents behind a couch in my grandparents house. About the same age I realised god didn't exist. My year of enlightenment.

0ph0rce0 · 22-11-2012 5:05pm

Bout 10 myself, seen the oul one hiding something up in the attic, Me and the cousin said sure she must be hiding the crimbo presents.

When shes gone we'll have a look

We go up open the bag and its, Wait For It.......

A 10" Black Dildo.

Funniest thing we'd every seen at that age.

Found the toys out in the shed

Ahhhh Christmas.

sfwcork · 22-11-2012 5:07pm

was the dildo a present too?

sausages79 · 22-11-2012 5:09pm

9 yrs old - teacher told entire class 2 weeks before Christmas!!
We had just had discussion about it with stories of people seeing or hearing him...one lad had an imprint of his boot in plasticine....while another had a photo
Then came "The Truth" from the teacher....

sfwcork · 22-11-2012 5:11pm

No it was hers.

We hadn't a clue back then, and kept going to her.

NEW FROM MATTELL, Big black willy, Balls sold separately.

That's when she convinced us it was a torch

But the older I got the more I understood and realised it was No torch.

What truth? That an old man sneaks into your house at night to empty his sack. That he prefers to use your "chimney" for coming in?

FFS, like presenting evidence of the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot!:D

That teacher is/was a cnut for doing this. If I was the parent of one of the kids I would be very annoyed.

I am actually annoyed now.

I hate these threads, I can picture in a few years.

"I found out from AH, that place is full of grinches too"

shar01 · 22-11-2012 5:20pm

I was 11. Found the yellow lego castle hidden behind parents bed. When I told my granny, she told me not to tell my mother because it would upset her to think I didn't believe in Santa...

sfwcork · 22-11-2012 5:22pm

Spiritual I never liked your threads either

Went back in the school after 20 yrs i brought it up with another teacher as I would have liked to confront him but he passed away.

Allegedly he did it a number of times!!

***Note I was in school for work reasons not to specifically confront him!!***
