Did you believe in Santa Claus when you were younger? If so, when and how did you find out that he does not exist? Sorry if I just broke it to you. It's true.

I did. I don't remember exactly when I realized it wasn't true. I don't think it was a "shock and awe" situation. I think I slowly came to it, like, noticing little things here and there that suddenly said, "There is no Santa".
However...I do like to tell myself otherwise. There's still a pretty big part of me that wants to believe magic is real. Perhaps that can attribute to my love of fiction and the fact that I read as much as I do, especially stories of the fantastical nature.
I also believe in Santa in the respect that there must have, at one time, been a real, flesh and blood Kris Kringle. A mysterious old man with a generous soul and a heart bigger than the world could handle.

Ask me anything
