I also think I was around 9 when I stopped beieving in Santa Claus. That was only because I was going to the bathroom and I saw my father and my oldest brother pulling my stereo out of the closet. You should have saw my face and even more funny were my father and brother trying to put me back in the bed. But I too was raised in a very spiritual home and my parent's made sure that I knew the reason for the season....BEFORE we opened any gifts, we sat around the tree as a family and read Matthew 1 with emphasis on verse 25, said a prayer and then opened presents. I thank my parent's for their practices and my siblings (who are older) for not RUINING the element of suprise for me. I think it is a part of a child's innocence when they still.........BELIEVE.
P.S. --> I am going to start posting more often...I want to be a Senior Member too
