When Did You Stop Believing In Santa Claus or Father Christmas?

I was considered a damn fool by my classmates for continuing to believe in Santa Clause in 3rd grade. I never understood why we returned Santa's toys to SEARS if we weren't happy. And that Sear "wish book" catalog that I studied devoutly explained how this was Santa's toy lineup for the year. What a conspiracy. And that letter Virgina wrote to the New York Sun asking if there was a Santa Clause. They said yes. SO now I couldn't believe the media. They use to reprint that letter in the paper's editorial section every December.

I love the Santa Clause myth. Christmas ain't the same when you learn the darn truth. I wonder if my parents even ate those cookies we put out.

Santa Claus is not related to St. Nickolaus although many people get them confused....as ANYONE that follows the Christmas stories knows....Santa was found in the forest by the animals who took him to live with the Kringles (a clan of toy making elves) The Kringles took him in and taught him the business (giving him the name Kris Kringle). The Kringles USED to be the Official Toy Makers to the King.
It is sad how many people nowadays don't know their history..
