I have never believe in Santa as my parents didn't want to take away the true meaning of Christmas. But we were able to sit on Santa's lap at the mall and pretended to tell him what we want for Christmas just like any other kids except we didn't believe. Just having fun acting. My dad grew up in the mission field but my grandma like them to believe in something like that so my dad did believe in Santa when growing up. But my grandma didn't realize that we didn't believe it and that my parents choose for us to believe in it. We live in Upstate NY and they live in FL.
We always get box fill with Christmas gift from them and my mom always put it under the trees. When I was 7 years old, I got my gift and I read aloud the tag (a must just in case my dad give wrong gift) "To Terrianne From Santa Claus" HUH??? I looked at my parents and I knew it wasn't from my parents and my mom was like give that to me and it was true. I later found out my grandma put 1 gift from Santa Claus instead of grandma and grandpa. It was a nice sock!! My mom got soooooo mad and she called my grandma and yelled at her. She didn't know that that was the rule.
So the next year, I remember hearing the knock on the door and there was a huge box waiting for us. My mom let me opened it and I was so shocked and I jumped up and down and said "MOM, It is a Christmas gift from JESUS!!!" "How did Jesus do that?"" I really believe it was from Jesus!!!
As I got older and knew it couldn't have been from Jesus and asked my mom who send it, it was from my grandparents!!! LOL!!!! But I sure had that dream that Jesus came to the door and dropped that gift for me!!! LOL!!!!
