I remember the day well; when my little brother burst my Santa Claus bubble. He came home from school and while we were having a snack in the kitchen, he told me that his friend's older brother said that Santa wasn't real. I was devastated and bawled my eyes out.
I have a feeling most of you have a story similar to mine so do tell, when did you stop believing in Santa? And how did you find out that it wasn't actually him that ate the cookies and drank the milk by the tree?
OMG — It's a Santa Vibrator!

If your darlings are starting to doubt the existence of Santa, northpole.com will make them reinstate their faith. Aside from offering wee ones the opportunity to exchange letters with the jolly old fellow, the online destination gives children a chance to see where St. Nick and the reindeer are with its Santa tracker. It also posts a countdown to Christmas by the day, hour, minute, and second, not to mention that kids can keep tabs on their good deeds or partake in educational activities at the elf clubhouse. Youngsters can take a quick quiz and find out if they are on the naughty or nice list and improve their behavior before the red-suited man arrives on his sleigh!
It's time to stow your holiday purchases so lil snoopers don't ruin their surprise. As a child, I always liked finding my presents under the tree, but one of my friends used to scour her house until she located her loot, then she'd tear a corner and take a peek. After, she re-wrapped them so her parents wouldn't notice and acted surprised on Christmas morning.
I keep my kids' gifts from St. Nick in our storage closet in the garage. Where do you hide presents for your lil ones prior to Santa's arrival?

Santa decided to play favorites this year and make an extra special visit to one lucky household. He opted to skip the sketch-ball chimney routine this time around and shimmy off the roof to make a dignified, standing entrance — or a large dent in the family Suburban. Same difference. . .
Christmas has come and gone. It's now time to put away the stockings, the farting Santas, the tree, the obnoxious front-yard inflatables, and the outdoor light show. It's also time to do away with the under-shaved Santa Claus hanging around the local shopping mall. I'm sure the terrified cuties below couldn't be happier. Adios, Saint Nick!

Dear Sugar,
My younger sister has an 8-year old daughter, and she and her husband live really close by. My husband and I went over there last week to help decorate their Christmas tree. When my sister was in the kitchen, my niece said to me, "I heard some kids on the bus say that Santa isn't real, and that your parents are the ones who get you presents. Is that true?" I felt like she was old enough to know the truth, and since she brought it up, I said, "Well, those kids are right. Santa and the whole story of the North Pole is all made up." Then my niece said, "Yeah I thought so. I did think it was pretty impossible for one guy to deliver all those presents in one night."
Then my sister walked in and said, "What kind of cookies should we make for Santa this year?" My niece said, "Don't worry mom. I know Santa isn't real, so you can stop talking about him."
My sister dragged me into the kitchen demanding to know what I told her. I said that I didn't come right out and break the news to her, that she asked if Santa was real and I couldn't lie. My sister brought up how when we were kids, I told her the truth about Santa and it practically ruined Christmas for her, and that I had no right to ruin Christmas for her daughter. Then she said, "I think it's time for you to leave now."
It's been a few days and I've apologized a hundred times, but my sister is still mad at me. Shouldn't I be forgiven for this little mistake?
I was hunting for some great gift ideas when I came across this Chocolate Christmas Cabbie ($29) from Dean & Deluca. It's a 12-ounce molded piece of hand-painted chocolate featuring Santa behind the wheel of a NYC cab. It's cute, but tacky. It would be a fun gift to get, but I don't think I'd spend my money on it. How about you? Are you hailing this cab?
After seeing this cute Digital Santa Clause Keychain on OhGizmo!, I knew I could find a purpose for it—even if it meant giving it to one of my sisters as a Christmas present. With a 1.1-inch LCD display, 8MB of internal memory, these keychains are almost as big as the colorful digital photo ornaments. Each keychain costs around $15 each. Do you love them or are you going to leave them?
