I dont know if i ever beleived it - or if i did i was told the truth at a very young age. It didnt bother me though. As long as i got gifts i was happy haha!

I wont tell my children the truth for the first few years - there no real need, and it's nice for them. But when they're 4 or 5 and starting school they'll find out the sad truth haha! But they'll be like me - as long as they still get the presants they'll be happy.
