I asked an older friend who told me. The following year, I had a chat with my younger sisters. "Santas nae real, but if you pretend you think he is, you'll get mare presents. Da tell mam or dad though!" Xmas day, all 3 of us up at 5am, into the living room, hud the bus, fars all the presents? "Remember, you said santa wasn't real!" My mum had heard everything I'd said, and to teach me a lesson, had hidden our presents!
