    But i do remember when my bro and his wife split up the cow told my 6yr old niece there was no santa. Why would you do that to a poor child? :mad:

    Wow, I hope you slapped that bitch hard. What a bitter ****.

    My mother left prices on some toys and then the next year I caught my dad with the bag of toys when I was going to the bathroom :rolleyes:

    So you were on the bog and your dad was outside holding his sack?....and you bought his lame Santa line?.....Your dad sounds creepy and awesome all at once.

    What? No. I caught him with the presents in the hall way when I was on the way to the bathroom!

    The noise of drunken parents bring down the presents down stairs. O and the time i was bold so santa put my present in my parents room:rolleyes: About ten years later it clicked :pac:

    Still tho does anyone else wish santa was real Christmas was so more exciting when you didnt know. Now all i got to look forward to is a big feed and a few bottles on the couch and falling asleep ah the good times:D

    I was about 9/10 and was packin the shoppin with my mam in dunnes in portmarnock and she asked "where can i get a cabbage patch doll" to the cash register girl. Its what my younger sis wanted "off santy". Was actually gutted. It was a long chin wobbling drive home :(

    I was about 8/9.Alot of the lads in school were telling me he didnt exist so I said to hell with it I'm gonna put an end to this once and for all!Went home,went straight up to my mam and asked her outright if he was real.She asked if I really wanted to know,to which I replied "yes 100%"

    So she told me but the news didn't go down well and all hell broke loose,I totally lost the plot,"what ya tell me for???"called her every name under the sun lol.Difficult,difficult time:o

    Well i found out just by asking my parents when i was about 11 and they knew I was old enough to know, didn't bother me too much as I had been putting the pieces together for a while.
    My sister on the other hand is 10, still beieves. She asked my mum why she wasn't allowed ask for all the things she wanted so she decided to question his existance and my mum wasn't thinking and said no he's not real. Then when my sister broke out into tears she realised what she had said and said she wasn't thinking and he was real. Then me sister asked the usual questions how does he buy all the presents etc etc. And my parents said they gave him money to buy the presents. I have been asked is he real by her a few times and I reply with " Yeah he is" and walk of to avoid any further questions. That excuse has done us good so far.

    I think that could be a new generation of non believer. The non believer who believes in public but in the privacy of the mind, they dont. Plawmausing your parents etc. Excellent business ethic!

    Found out at age 6, saw my dad carrying in the bike I asked Santa for, I tried to keep the Santa idea alive in my sister for as long as possible because its a fecking great idea and nothing beats Christmas morning when your a kid. :D

    We used to setup a camera to try and catch santa coming down the chimney, every year we did it and every year we missed him! Crafty old bastard I thought to myself! We always left a pint of guinness and a carrot in the shot to lure him in but every year the pint would magically be empty and the carrot half eaten (remember kids, never drink and fly reindeer!)

    One year we caught santa on camera! Turns out my da used to sneak into the room behind the camera, pause the recording and place all the presents out before putting the recording back on.

    We watched the video back xmas morning to see my da hammered stumbling into the room, downing the guinness and falling asleep on the chair while eating a carrot. In retrospect it was ****in hilarious but at the time not so much :P
