    I could never be bothered waiting for Santa. Every year me and my brother used to sneak into our parents room and open our presents a couple of weeks before Christmas... heh ... we'd have a good look at them and then wrap them up again and act surprised on Christmas morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    why would your parents mind your presants for santa????/

    maybe thats how he gets around so fast he comes and drops off the presants and gets your parents to mind them..... but then who eats the carrot and the mince pie and who drinks the glass of milk??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    you rebel! we never had the balls to open them, jus tore corners to get a tantalising peek at the good stuff within.... only made the anticipation worse when we couldnt work it out though :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭HashSlinging


    ffs, heartless basT$£"S

    Was about 8. I was very sick over christmas eve and I caught the parents putting the presents under the tree about midnight or so. They had some explaining to do - but they let me play with the presents! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,213 ✭✭✭✭therecklessone


    I was 7 and I heard my sister and my aul one discussing whether to wrap my presents or not. I ran out shouting "hah, I knew there was no Santa!".

    They tried to bluff their way out of it, but I knew. Oh yes, I knew...

    I was about ten when i found out, which really ruined my christmas. My sister and i were having a fight ( as ya do ) and she let it splurt. Didn't tell my parents though, you seem to get better presents that way.

    But that year in school the teacher asked me what i was getting off santa and i said in front of a full class that there was no such thing.

    I was promptly marched out of class with the sound of 30 whimpering kids behind me. I don't think anyone spoke to me for months


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    LOL the truth hurts!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,530 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    A class of ten year olds still all believed in santa? That's strange.

    I was about 7 or 8, my sister would try every year to convince me, and that year she brought me out to the car and showed me the presents in the boot.

    What a ****ing bitch, actually. I owe her a punch for that.
