When did you stop believing in Santa Claus?

[Hagar]

Still no option for "never" eh?

Maybe I misunderstood your original reply. So did you never believe or never stop believing?
The question is "When did you stop believing........?"

[flyboy 28]

I think it was about 5 years ago... I've had an inkling since I was about 7, but I knew for sure when I found my parent's present-hiding spot, and when I unwraped the ones labeled "From Santa", I started crying.

Loafing Smurf I have never stopped believing in Santa Claus
AND
Happy Humbug to anyone who does not believe in Santa Claus...yes may a lump of coal fall on all your heads on December 25th!

I can prove there is a Santa Claus:
The Royal Canadian Air Force now known as Her Majesty's secret service "The Canadian Forces" would not allow to be broadcast that they were escorting Santa Claus from his home at the North Pole all over North America on Chrismas Eve if it were not true.
and
All the children and adults that write letters to Santa Claus at the North Pole have never had their letters returned.

I never did believe.

[Hagar]

Ah OK. I don't believe in much these days but I do believe in Santa. He typifies to me the goodness & innocence in the world. Unfortunately there ain't much of that left.

Hagar, I think you'd definitely enjoy the book I referenced...seems right up your proverbial alley.

[Hagar]

Thanks Hype. Maybe, if I ask ever so nicely, Santa will deliver it.

Crazy stuff. I never celebrate that - its pagan as far as I'm concerned. :-/

Lighten up a little. You youngsters seem to take everything so seriously these days. Many Christian traditions are based on pagan concepts, including the date of Christmas Day itself. The name Santa Claus is derived from St Nicholas. With all the evil there is in the world today surely there's no harm in a little fantasy.

Oh lighten up. You get given presents and is a perfectly legitimate excuse to get pissed in front of the telly. What could be better? Plus you get christmas cake. And mince pies. And all those useless little knick-knacks from christmas crackers. And who cares if it's pagen. You come to the south west and we'll show you pagen. We have druids and everything.

P.s. Of course Father Christmas is real. Raymond Briggs proved that.

If you're going to take the time off work/school and you're going to get presents, I think it's kinda hypocrytical to denounce the holiday....just my two.

[WebbPA]

I can live with that.

I've never believed either.

Ebenezer Scrooge is reincarnated.

[MudTrip4x4]

He did exist. That's my vote. (In reference to St. Nick)

Ebenezer Scrooge is reincarnated.

I don't have my nickname for nothing.
