Post Secret

My parents told me that there was no Santa Claus right from the get go. When I asked my mother why, she told me it was because she did not think it was necessary to lie to me for no real reason. I have always known that all of the presents I received on December 25th were from my parents, friends, and family who love me. There's nothing bad about that. Despite these facts, all of my friends think it is "horrible" that my parents never played along with the story of jolly St. Nick. That has always made me feel awkward. This Post Secret makes me feel better.
