When I was about two years old or so, my mother told me that we would play a game; that she and my dad would pretend to be Santa Claus and put presents under the Christmas tree. Then she had me repeat back to her what she had said. She probed further to make sure that I correctly understood what she meant. Mom repeated this conversation several times before Christmas shortly arrived.

On Christmas day when I woke up before my parents and found the presents under the tree, I went to awaken both of them with the news. Mom said, "Oh, Santa Claus must have brought you the presents." I replied, there is no Santa Claus; that's just you and Dad. She said, "No, it was Santa Claus."

I just laughed and thanked her for the presents.

So wait a minute...Jehovah's real, though, right?

I doubt any child over the age of 6 really believes Santa is an actual person....its been awhile for me, but I am pretty sure my Uncle left me that present. Which in the grand scheme of things was just fine
