    When did you stop beliving in Santa?

    I cannot ever remember believing in Santa, my Mum attributes it to the fact that I had two older brothers who liked to upset me!

    My DD who is 8 is getting suspicious - no doubt from talk in the play ground, but I've told her that if she doesn't believe then how can he give her presents and that buys her silence for another year!

    However she still REALLY believes in the tooth fairy and I have to write her little notes in tiny handwriting covered in glitter, whenever she loses a tooth.

    Do you still believe?
    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

    ok then smarty-pants....so if Santa doesn't exist, who delivers all those presents on xmas eve and who drinks my brandy and eats my mince pies? Eh?
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          Apparently there's some website - nasa or something like that, that will be tracking Santa's progress around the globe on Christmas eve, in case anyone's interested. I don't know the site though - I'm sure google will.

            He's deffo real. I show my kids (daughter 9 and son 7) his web cam at http://www.santaclauslive.com/main.p...live&kieli=eng (SFW).

            We had a temp in here last week who is one of his elves. She spends 7 weeks in Lapland around Xmas help out. A bit like Tescos needing extra shelf stackers over the Xmas period I guess....

              It's Norad. http://www.norad.mil/News/2008/112508.html

              They're not quite as fluffy as NASA. I expect Santa to be blown out of the skies one of these years.

                I think I always had my suspicions. I recall a Christmas eve party when I was about 5 and everyone was waiting for Santa. I was dubious about him already IIRC and was left no less suspicious when a grown-up said he saw Santa and that I had missed him.
