Christmas poll

[slemslempike]

I hope that you all had nice Christmases if you do Christmas. I quite enjoyed myself. I got to play my new version of Trivial Pursuit (deluxe, where you have an "abbot" that goes round the edge and gets you new skills, and different levels of difficulty for each question), and Bananagrams, which rocks. I am now back in Lancaster being a bit ill and enjoying my Christmas presents. Also I bought a hat.

For people who also do Christmas in the present getting sense:

[Poll #1113612]

I do realise that this poll doesn't allow for people not having had stockings. This is as it should be. I don't want to know of such deprivations.

I remember being about 9, and someone quite a bit older, probably early teens, being nasty to me about being so young, and saying "you probably still believe in Father Christmas", to which I obviously replied "don't be stupid, of course I don't", and died inside.

I think I just gently eased from believing to pretending I believed for the sake of my brothers. I can remember telling Seb quite firmly that God didn't exist when he was about four, but evidently I regarded Father Christmas as rather more benign.
