Did you believe in Santa?

When I was a kid, I believed in Santa Claus.
However, I never expected him to visit my place.

The main reason was that my house had no chimney.
Santa usually enters houses through chimneys, so he can’t deliver presents to houses without chimneys.

Actually, there was something looked like a chimney out of our bathroom.
It was a part of an extractor fan, maybe? I’m not sure.
One day I told my old sister that Santa could enter our house through it.
She said that it was so narrow and dirty that no one wanted to go through it.
It sounded pretty reasonable to me.
She also said that Santa was in a foreign country so he was not going to come.
Santa couldn’t understand what we wanted. Do you really think he knew our favorite anime?
Blah blah blah…
She was very persuasive to young me.
Finally she showed me a picture of Santa with kids who had blond hair and blue eyes.
Well, I couldn’t imagine a picture of Santa with me.

My parents told us to be good, so Santa would give us what we wanted
I knew that it was a lie but I just said I would.
I thought that Santa existed but I was never going to meet him.

This is very interesting! In the United States, we are told that Santa delivers presents to every boy & girl across the entire world. He can understand every language, culture, and he always knows what the children want. :)

He also has his own magic to be able to squeeze through even the most narrow spaces! :D

Thank you for corrections.
I guess Santa could do anything.
I want to see Santa squeeze through narrow spaces.
It must be so funny!

That's kind of a sad story! In any case, I think not having a chimney is a child's greatest fear come December. I think all children without chimneys think about how Santa will get in. My mom used to tell me he could go through the keyhole in the door knob if he had to. Is it a custom in Japan for little ones to leave out milk and cookies for Santa? One time "Santa" forgot to eat his cookies and my little brother and sisters got really mad. My mom had forgotten to eat the cookies! (or throw them back in the cookie jar whatever she did...I'd eat them...) She explained that Santa was full from eating all the cookies other little boys and girls left out. =D

Haha... I actually discussed this with my friend before.

Well, in my case, I personally do not believe that Santa exists.
I had once believed that Santa exists but only up to kindergarten was over. Even though my house didn't have a chimney, I still believed that he would come and deliver presents to me. And I actually did receive something when I was kindergarten.

By the time I enrolled elementary school, I was expecting to get presents from Santa too. But I didn't get any presents any more. I asked my mom how come there is no presents from Santa, and she told me that Santa does not exist and all the presents that I got before were given by her...

So yeah... this is pretty much the story.

Maybe I did believe but I always thought it strange that Santa would hide my presents in my parents closet.
