Take me back to the age of innocence

Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! i don't think I've been this excited for a Christmas since i found out Santa was not at all real. tonight me and my dear friend Alex have been reminiscing about childhood such as first albums, our favourite songs/singers, how much better 90's kid shows such as lamb chop, Mr squiggles, art attack, the original Pokemon series, Malcolm in the middle and all Aussie adventures where so much better then today's kids show (eg, Dora becoming a tween, what the hell is that?)and also remembering how we had to perfect everything for Santa and what happened when we found out that Santa Claus, dear old saint Nicholas was all a big lie. Do you remember the times of making sure everything was clean? making sure the warm milk and the plate of cookies and the carrots for his reindeer where perfectly set out on your coffee table? making sure your balcony door was unlocked so he could get in (or maybe that is just me since I've lived in units my whole life and never have had a chimney) and how you made the list for him and you tried to wrap your mind around how he could cross the world in just one night? WOW! i don't think ill ever forget the day i found out he wasn't real, friends at school told me and i remember i refused to believe and still wanted to so bad i had a big fight with Alicia and Jess about it. they where like, THEN HOW DOES HIS SLEIGH FLY? i replied...........erm..............um..............CHRISTMAS SPIRIT......yeah ah uh. then i went home and asked mum and she was like, yeah he's not. i was so upset and every year since that year 6 Christmas it wasn't as fun for me, pretending for my little sister and missing not knowing and realising that everything was changing for me but now that she knows too my whole family jokes around and goes ZOMG SANTA! YAY! and tease little Zian about it who just goes...=.= i know hes not real, then we go oh sure he is! don't say that! :D so now for once I'm as excited as i used to be as a little oblivious naive child, maybe also because this year has been insanely good and life changing and a big learning experience. Merry Christmas all, hope you enjoy it as much as me :)
