Christmas Questions ~ Day 12

13.When did you learn the truth about the "magic" of Christmas?

You know, I can't really say that I remember this moment.  Maybe my parents do...I don't have any memories of being crushed or having any type of emotional melt-down.  I am, however, starting to wonder how and when I will tell my kids about the "magic" that is Santa.....

I remember a kid in my class about the 4th grade told me on the bus ride to school. .I didn't believe him. .and my parents denied that it was true when I asked. .but somehow, after their response. .I just knew. .so sad!! I keep thinking that I have GOT to tell Devin this Christmas so they won't tease him. .but so far, I just can't bear to do it! I really can't remember how my other boys found out. .but I am provoked to ask them now!!

I can't even think of this moment without crying! I don't want this moment to come...at that point my kids are growing up and I don't want that to happen this fast! Can't talk about it anymore...lump in my throat.

Traumatic MOMENT of my childhood...1st GRADE Coldwater Ks..Christine Heinze teacher, I STILL BELIEVED HE (Santa) WAS REAL. alive and taking care of Rudolph and helping the elves make toys, and Mrs. Santy Claus...made a lot of cookies...along came DENNIS MCKINNEY and told me I was a baby for believing lies that my mom was telling me....he was RELENTLESS....I was IN-CON-SOLE=ABLE...!!!! I cried and wailed and snotted around and threw a full-on HISSY FIT...so bad...that WE, (ME and MR> McKINNEY) had to go to the office and then they proceeded to call Mary Alice and Loretta...(back then ) it was UNHEARD of to call your parents because you were crying and could not STOP...so both mom's appeared...and I was told the BITTER truth....and I cried so much I got to go home...LORETTA was not happy with me or him....taking off of work for trivial stuff like the end of a legend for little girls was practically grounds for dismissal from her place of employment ( a job that our family dearly depended on )....I remember sitting by our tree for nights just wishing SAnta would appear and Dennis would be wrong....I remember it like it happened yesterday....I still BELIEVE in the MAGIC of CHRISTMAS....it remains in our hearts....
