(I know that not all people celebrate christmas, or even believe in Santa. but this is just based on my experiences :3)
When I was about 5, I believed that every christmas, Santa Claus would come down our chimney and eat the milk and cookies we would put out for him (Or some asian treats for replacements 🤣), and he would magically pop through our very narrow chimney that was just so small for the "jolly ole fat" man to fit through.
Although when I reached age 10, I came to a .... suspicion.
"Mom. . . How come you say you see Santa when you wake up for work, but then the cookies aren't eaten?" I asked my mom one morning.
She looked at me and said, "WELL . . . Santa has a hard time going through houses to drop presents quickly before morning comes, so he might not have time for the cookies."
I was like 'hmm...hmm..okay...wait no >:('
Of course I was having so much doubts about what my mom said, I went with the flow and didn't give a damn.
ANYWAYS, I'm not tryna ruin any of yalls Santa beliefs but I'm just tryna share what happened to me :P.
I don't believe in Santa anymore, but my childhood self still holds some hope.
(Cliche end?) -
All in all, I don't really care about the presents because I try to spend time with my family, and I try my best to look out for other people too, because you never know the situation strangers are in.
