8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I fought till the death on this one. In grade five I told people that the reason they saw their parents putting presents under the tree was because Santa doesn’t bring toys to kids that don’t believe in him… so their parents had to do it. :P I think around grade 6ish or grade 7 I finally embraced it… it was horrifying. Although I think I still believe in the spirit of Santa. I don’t think I’ll ever lose that.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? All of the ones from Harrold & Lorri and Oma (and Opa) and the Oma/Opa Santa :P
