I was 9 when I first found out that Santa isn’t real and my parents weren’t the ones who broke the news to me, it was my classmates. I was devastated!
Why am I talking about it after all these years? Well, firstly because Christmas is just around the corner and secondly because I have been noticing that a lot of my students below the ages of 10 do not believe in Santa Claus. Can you believe it? How can someone kill the joy of Christmas for children?
But the funny thing is that Santa is real. Yes he is!
Our parents are the one’s who bring us gifts on Christmas, so they are our very own Santa!
Christmas is about hope, giving, love and sharing and in fact anyone who is kind and giving is a Santa. Santa lives in all of us and he will continue to as long as there is love and people continue to care about each other. This holiday season, donate to a charity of your choice, give to a food drive or go drop off some gifts at an orphanage or a children’s home so that everyone can experience Christmas.
To children all over the world: Give Santa a.k.a your parent a hug because they have worked very very hard for you. Merry Christmas Everyone!

That’s a very sweet post. Thank you!
Thank you Susan:)
Beautifully said! 🙂
🙂 You inspired this post! Thank you!
Santa is real and my children know if they ever doubt his existence they will get a lump of coal in their stocking 😉
hahah that’s a fine idea!
Santa is real in the form of my 11 year old student named Cecilia. She’s made me a Christmas card all the way from Korea.
I saw the post! Oh my God so sweet! Happy holidays Addie! I will give you a follow from my tumblr!
Santa is still alive in my house, from ages 14 down to 11 =)
I’m pretty sure that makes me a bad dad, but everytime my kids asked me what i believe, i said it didn’t matter what “i believed”, all that mattered was what they believed, and that they were comfortable with their beliefs.
No you are a very good dad t!:D I hope Santa will remain alive in your house for a long long time! Happy holidays!
Have a blessed Christmas 🙂
Thanks, and a blessed Christmasw to you and yours as well =]
I was sworn to secrecy by my father. I woke up Christmas Eve at age 7 to find him downstairs delivering (assembling) Santa presents and eating cookies. I never told my brother!
Lovey post – Merry Christmas
You are so sweet for keeping the magic alive for your brother! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
I was all busted up when I found out Santa was not real, but I was relieved when I discovered the Easter Bunny was a fraud. I was always scared about where those little chocolate eggs came from! I may be a varmint eating Hillbilly, but I steer clear of certain “items.”
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas!
haha I love chocolate but not the kind that causes stomach troubles 😛
