My dad was a policeman and lied to me.He helped me write the letters, then put them on the fire, they went straight up the chimney. Don't remember any chimney fires.I was 11 years old when I found out.My dads a policeman he doesn't lie I told the other kids. That was about the same time I stopped believing in god.I lived next door to the vicarage and went to church three times on Sunday.

You must remember to stick a stamp on your letter or it won’t get to Santa.

Father Christmas is very busy at this time of year so he can’t guarantee that he’ll send a reply, but he’ll do his best if you include your full name and address.

I let my son believe until he asked. Then I said Santa Clause represented the feeling of Christmas. The happiness and joy. He was fine with that.

@Hathacat Ooooo good one.
