@St_Rev The toy section in the back. I was allowed to pick THREE items. Had to play it cool. -
@NineBandedBooks@St_Rev once my dad built me an entire indoor playhouse while my sister & I slept - serious obstacle to Santa epistemology -
@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev I was a Santa Creationist at age 10. -
@NineBandedBooks@sarahdoingthing Don't think I ever believed in Santa or Jesus. Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, yes. -

@NineBandedBooks@sarahdoingthing I remember being about 8 and saying my prayers and one of my prayers was 'please help me believe in you'. -
