When Did you Stop Believing in Santa Claus?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680) 3 years ago

All of us somehow grew up with Santa Claus. We believe in him and that he spread joys to the children of the world come Christmas time. we ready our socks at our bedposts and find presents in them the next morning. In time, we stop believing in Santa. Unlike Peter Pan who never grew up, we do. We come to know that Santa is only a tale.So when did you stop believing in good old Nick? For me, I think it was at 10. There is an interesting thing spoken about Santa. They call it the 4 phases of Santa Claus.

The first phase is when you believe in Santa Claus,
The second phase is when you no longer believe in Santa Claus
The third phase is when you have to dress as Santa Claus
The fourth phase is when you start looking like Santa Claus.

Today, Santa Claus has a lot of competition from beautiful and lithe Santarinas.They also do stunts underwater and no longer on roof tops!

I'm not Catholics and I'm a from a Christian sect that believes Jesus was born at April so my parents had already seeded in my mind that there is no Santa Claus.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

Seriously, what has Santa Claus to do with Jesus? There is no connection,whatsoever. Nada! Santa Claus is not a saint even though we lovingly give him the sainthood as Saint Nicholas! Whether you are a Roman Catholic or a Methodist or of any other sect,Santa Claus has nothing to do with religion. It is more a tale told by an idiot signifying something to the kids! Have fun, this Christmas!

I did not hear any crying. I think you are guffawing all the way to the North Pole where little elves slogged for nearly 11 months to have the presents ready. Also I believe it is impossible for Santa to fit all the presents in one small sleigh carriage. Then, even if Santa is Superman, he could not have delivered all the presents in time. Going down the chimney is also well nigh high impossible and ludicrous. Merry Christmas and Happy 2010 and happy colleging!

rasp Santa can travel faster than light,,,,rasp
Santa can make himself and all the Toys that size of a speck, rasp

Santa only comes when all the Boys and Girls are asleep. So there,

Anyway Santa and the Rain deers last year ate the Cookie and drank the milk and chewed the carrots I put out for them as a snack and I have a note from Santa saying that was very nice, and the Rain deers loved the Carrots, So there.,, So there,

i agree with hiccup....santa could be real. sure sometime in your life your parents are going to sit you down and tell you santa claus isnt reall and its time to grow up, but thats what ur parents parents told ur parents and there parents told there parents and so on and so on untill it goes all the way back untill the first doubter of santa claus. just like if we to see who the first humans to give birth, we would find out who gave birth to who,a and who gave birth to then and so on and so on untill u reach adam and eve. well anyway going back to the first doubter of santa claus, he could have said santa dosnt existe when he could have and it just spread and passed on form gernation to generation. for example a highschool rumor, one person says somthing thast not true and soon everybody knows and everyone believes it, but acually the truth behind that rumor is hiding. think about the first doubter of santa cluas, he could have spread his non belifes like a rumour and they have spread untill this generation, but just like a higshcool rumor, the truth could be hiding. there are many christmass specials in movies where the parnts dress up as santa and such, but when santa shows up the parents are as shocked as the kids are. so if my theory is corrct, the only way to know if santa is real, is to belive, and to be a belvier. belvers dont need facts or proof to know its real, they just do...anything is possible if we belive..

Here is a link I would like for you to check out: http://www.newseum.org/yesvirginia. It's about a little 8 year old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon who wrote to the Sun Times (I think that's the name of it)back in the 1800's, asking if there really was a Santa Claus. You might have already heard this story. Still, I think it's an interesting read. If you haven't read it, it might change your perspective on Santa Claus. I never have stopped believing in Santa Claus, lollol. Actually, I stopped believing in him when I was about 9, 10, or 11 years old. Like this story says, I think he exists in spirit. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cyrus123 (3255)  3 years ago

Actually, it was the ""New York Sun", not the "Sun Times".happy Kathy.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

That was a great reply. It may be good to soothe the fears of the girl then. A reply like that will just delay the disbelief phase. When the girl comes of age, it will seep in by itself as her interests go elsewhere. Merry Christmas.

I am a woman, so I dont have to dress like Santa Claus, nor can I look like him. Therefore, I am left with only the first two choices. I think somewhere I still want him to come in some form, and do some magic. :) I know this sounds ridiculous. I am 50. I know he doesn't exist. But what is wrong in hoping that tomorrow morning I will get up and I will get a good news that I was longing for! I can always attribute it to Santa. :) I think like that. :)


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

That has always been the frivolity of man. To want to hope;to want to believe. To want to see fairies and the great magical world of make-belief. Santa is somewhere in there and so is Peter Pan.I respect your hopes and your dreams. Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year 2010.

I have never seen a Santa do stunts under water. I think I believe in Santa ril 1st or 2nd grade which would have been 6 or 7 years old. I have never payed Santa though.

Never, i still believe in Santa. He is alive and well in my heart. although the jolly
man in the red suit I think when i was about Seven or eight or so I was thinking how could santa be at the mall, downtown and in several different stores at once. I thoughtthere is no way this guy could be real!!

I am a Hindu and I am not a christian. Santa claus is just a tale which i came to know since I was 7. But still in my school days, I used to be pretty much excited since santa claus would always come loaded with gifts for us such as small electronic toys, piggy bank, sweet box and other things. Hence i would always await for the arrival of santa every christmas in my childhood irrespective of the fact that he is just a tale added to intensify the joys of little children. Have a great day and merry christmas. CheersL:

You asked when I stopped believing in Santa Claus? The answer is I never believe in Santa, not even when I was a small kid. As kids we just knew that Santa was not real.
Blessed X'mas and Merry New Year.
