Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1) Answer these questions:

a) Did you ever send a letter to Santa Claus?
b) Did you ever visit Santa and "make a list?"
c) Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
d) When did you find out "the truth" about Santa Claus?

2)  Tell us your answers in a blog post of your own, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post.  Be sure to leave a comment on this post with a link to your answers.


a) Did you ever send a letter to Santa Claus?

No, I didn't. I probably written a letter to him as a assignment in elementary school.

b) Did you ever visit Santa and "make a list?"

No, I never visited Santa. I did make lists for parents, when I got older. Maybe starting around the ages of 8-10.


c) Do you still believe in Santa Claus?

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but the cause and purpose of the idea, I do believe. You tend to get in the jolly spirit around Christmas time. The excitement the holiday brings to children's faces is beautiful.


d) When did you find out “the truth” about Santa Claus?

I am not really sure. I don’t even remember my parents ever telling me about Santa. I think I always knew the truth. As a kid, I remember thinking, “How did Santa get in the house?” when there was no chimney. I didn’t care how the presents came in house, I just wanted toys.

Happy Holidays,

Lacie

There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗 1)   My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998). I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly ...
