His Non-Existence. /

12.02.2006

It's the same old story. You leave milk and cookies for him at night and go to bed. Then, you'd wake up around midnight [or in the morning] to find the glass and plate empty and tons of presents under the Christmas tree.

WARNING: If you still believe in Santa then you're better of reading something else. I don't want to be held responsible for taking away your innocence. :))

The mystery of Santa Claus has been repeated from generation to generation and it never fails to amaze children. Soon, they'll realize that Santa does not exist and in the future, they will be the ones acting as Santa for their children.

I started doubting Santa's existence when I was in Grade 2. I woke up earlier than the usual on Christmas Day and found out that I didn't have gifts inside my sock. I was shocked and thought that Santa forgot me. I went back to bed with a heavy feeling in my stomach. After a few minutes, I went back downstairs just to make sure that I really don't have gifts in my sock.

Downstairs, I found my Mom who have just woken up and gifts in my sock! I found it very weird. Nagising lang si Mom may regalo na kaagad ako?

I confirmed Santa's non-existence the Christmas after that. It has been a tradition in our family to write a letter to Santa on what you want for Christmas and place it under the Christmas tree. The day after that, we would find that the letter has been delivered to the North Pole.

Around January, while I was looking for spare change in the cabinet, I found my letter. I got all the things that I wanted, but Santa never got my letter.

I wanted to tell my sister that Santa does not exist, but I didn't. Would I really spoil my sister's Christmas just because my beliefs were destroyed?

The answer was as much as I liked to do hat, it's a NO.

My parents know that I don't believe in Santa anymore, but they still tell me to write to him. And I still do! :) Hee. Kasi kapag hindi, hindi nila ako reregaluhan. :P

Note for Parents: If you want your children's belief on Santa to last long, make sure you throw away your children's letters to Santa and other things that would make them doubt his existence. :) Haha.

Note for Santa Believers: Did you read the warning above? You really shouldn't have read this. STOP. :)) If you're still reading this then you should stop right now or else Santa will mark you on his naughty list. Lagooot! Everything that I have just said here is not true. Santa does exist and you should leave him milk and cookies every year. :))

Ikaw? Kailan mo nalaman na hindi totoong may Santa? :)

Now you understand what it's like to dive.
Take it back, taken back, she forgets you.
Now she pleads: "Forgive me again, it's the last time I will..."
