How old were you when...

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I only found out when I was 11 years old! Some kids at school told me that there was NO Santa. I reacted saying:"Hey you silly, I got a new schoolback, white boots with lace, chocolate figurines and orangies!! There is NO way my parents would buy me THAT much!!"
When I came home I told it all to my mom. I was so chocked when she said: "it is true, we are buying the presents, and babies also do NOT come out of cabbages !!"
I was devastated!

Later that day I went back to her and asked in tears if Little Jezus didn't exist too then. Luckily that was a de truth

I was about eight years old, my best friend at school told me, i would not believe her, and went home and asked my parents, they told me the truth.

Enjoy the people around you.
Treat others with kindness.

I never ever have had a fireplace/chimney.... EVER.... and how did Santa came to my house you wonder??.... he turned into a spirit form (aka vaporized) and came under the door... yeah and I believed that...

I know it might not be fair to parents that Santa takes credit if not all at least for the best presents... but believe me, now looking back, I cherish even more the Santa presents as I know the troubles my parents had to do for us not to know...

stay awake late until we slept, when we didn´t wanted to.... buying stuff and keeping it out of sight from curious kids.... in most your cases, wrapping issues LOL..

we never had wrapped presents.. a lil easier on the parents ... I still wonder where did they stashed them for us not to see.... some where quite big for keeping them out of sight...hmm....

on easter my mom took the challenge of hiding the candy from us but leaving powder pawprints.... yeah baby powder pawprints all over the house...awww.... and a card with our initial made out of pawprints... so cute!!
