How did you find out the secret behind Santa Claus?
Submitted by Carinish.
When I was about 4, my brother woke me up really early in the morning to show me who were the real Santas.
Basically, it was like this. Christmas Eve, my mother would sleep with me and my father would sleep with my brother. The didn't trust us, so this was their way of making sure we stayed in bed while they set things up for us. Both of my parents were smokers and my father accidentally knocked his ashtray over in the bed. While he was cleaning up the ashes, he woke my brother up, but my brother was such a sneak, he pretended to stay asleep (he was 6). He then left the room, got my mother and they went to the attic to get the goodies. As they were setting up, my brother came in and woke me up. We were peaking through the kitchen door, into the living room, watching my parents get our toys under the tree.
We had never said anything to them until a few years later. In fact, I don't even recall anyone saying anything to my father about that. I was 12 when he died, but we definitely talked to my mother about it. Several times. Even after having our own kids.
