How did you realize in your country that Santa is not real?
>>217839327My parents never fooled me with such nonsense.
>>217839327Because he never was?It's some Coca Cola marketing bullshit.
>>217839327after watching american movies
>>217839379that's because they want to make sure you know that the only people coming down the chimney of your favela house at night are the cartel
>>217839327I thought Santa and God were the same person because of the whole "always watching / judging you" shtick being conflated in my child mind which made my parents telling me he wasn't real around age six pretty devastating. I remember asking them in tears, "Then why do we go to Church?" and they just laughed. Pretty funny in retrospect.
he isn't??????????????

>>217839327How do people convince kids that santa is real?In my family we always had to and from cards on presents so it was never a secret where the present came from. I also went christmas shopping with my mom sometimes to buy presents for other family members.
>>217839524>How do people convince kids that santa is real?Not Santa, but Saint Nicolas here is just something that happens. My 1 y/o has been held by him a few times, at daycare they celebrate it, it's on TV, the news during Sinterklaas makes sure not to break the illusion etc.As a parent, you just play along with the rest and they'll believe it.
