does any of you people remember the good ole days, when christmas was the amazing and it seemed to take forever to come around. Once you learned the truth about christmas, (which i won't say clearly for strictly legal reasons) did you notice it was never the same. i mean, sure its still good craic with new gear n all but, back then it was so much more, ya know, magical.

lets face it, this christmas, i'm gettin Majora's Mask, Chmpionship Manager, Commandos 2, ack you name it i got it, but when i came down the stairs to see things i hadn't already seen or knew about like my original gameboy with tetris or my Snes bundled with Mario Allstars, it was far better, and far more memorable. These days i virtually buy my own games n stuff so i know where they are in the house and i know all about them anyway, from mags and the like whereas, aged 7, i had never seen the thing b4 and it really exited me to see it.

i have younger brothers and sisters and when they come down, they always look real genuine, but i just sit and play the nintendo all day and don't get into the whole atmosphere. sorry if you don't ever get that but i almost nearly feel jealous of them because of it.

all of you out there who delight in telling your 9 year old cousins or freinds' siblings, just don't bother. they can work it out for themselves when the time comes.

What do you mean 'pretended'? Santa exists! He really does. You just have to believe hard enough.

I know what you mean! even when I knew (you know) my parents and I still pretended that there was Santa for my littles brothers benifit (and also mine).

I used to stay up all night looking out the window hoping to get a glance at the big man himself. I still love Christmas but I REALLY loved when I was aged 5-10 they were the best.

I actually wrote my English mock exam essay on how much I loved Christmas!

It's ok, Santa just rang me and says he forgives you.
