  1. “Yes, I believe in Santa Claus because the idea of a very fun guy that breaks into your house and delivers gifts sounds wonderful.”
  2. “They told me when I was like I don’t know six, my sister was just like you know what Santa Claus doesn’t exists.”
  3. “I was disappointed but then the thing I would do is like I wouldn’t tell my parents I knew he didn’t exist I would pretend that he does exist in order for them to get me gifts.”

  1. “No”
  2. “I stopped believing when I was like 9 cause I put cookies outside and he never picked them up.”
  3. “I was disappointed because I was expecting to get something that I’ve always wanted which was a barbie dream house and that didn’t get delivered so…”

 

Perla Bouche, 10

  1. “Not anymore.”
  2. “When one day, I found my parents putting the wrapper on the presents and instead of putting from mom and that it was from Santa Claus this was when I was 9 years old, I was heartbroken.”
  3. “At first I was sad, magic was ruined and well heartbroken.”

 

Naidelin Chavez, 11

  1. “Yes, of course because I just like believe in him and some people tell me that he’s not real but I know inside my heart that he’s real and like I just see him everywhere for example I go to the mall and I see him there.”
  2. “ People tell me all the time that he doesn’t exists”
  3. “Well, I have this friend right and she once told me that he wasn’t real and I didn’t believe her because obviously I believe in Santa.”

 

Leonardo Rosales, 11

  1. “When I was a kid, I really had the hopes to see him and hug him or say hi to him at least for once in my life it was until I was 10 years old when I saw that my mom had wrappers and I asked her why she had them and my uncle was mad that day and he just told me guess what she’s Santa.”
  2. “I wasn’t really happy about it.”
  3. “WAIT SANTA CLAUS DOESN’T EXIST!? that was my reaction, but then I realized, how could a person give gifts to all the kids in the world in one day.”
