I believed in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny until I was 12 years old and found hidden presents labelled “To Ginger, from Santa” in the basement weeks before Christmas.
A small, hopeful and innocent part of me died that day and I mourned it. I still wish I believed.
What secret will you share with me today?

I never believed in any of those – sort of sad but in a way I’m proud.
Secrets huh, I think I was 4 when this happened. The neighbor boy was throwing clumps of dirt at his bedroom window, I dared him to throw a rock. I don’t think I had a great grasp of physics at the time. Needless to say the rock shattered the window, when my mom asked if I had anything to do with it I said no!
I never understood the Easter Bunny, but yes, I did believe in Santa though. I remember in third grade we had this big debate while the teacher had stepped away in which the class ended up splitting in three: the believers, the non-believers, and the rest of us stuck in between. Its kind of funny looking back now, but I remember how strongly each group felt!! The rest of us were torn, the non-believers had a point, but we still wanted to believe!!
Not much of a secret, but that just brought back a mess of memories. =]
haha….i believed until i was 14!!
As for secrets – in elementary school i once stole some pencils and “micro-machines” and for 3 years every time i heard the phone rang in my house i thought someone was calling to report me! i could hav sworn i was going to jail 😉
