The day I realized the easter bunny wasn’t real wasn’t very hard, mum pulled the baskets out of her walk-in wardrobe and that was that. My brothers and I knew. At that point I was 12, I was starting to have some doubts in the whole ‘Santa’ and ‘Easter Bunny’ thing but I had a hard time admitting it. I just always thought in the back of my mind, that maybe Santa was real. Being 16 now of course I know Santa’s not real but this year my family stopped pretending, as my youngest brother is 12 now.
As a result there were no cookies and milk left out, no carrots for the reindeer, no santa tracker… It felt like the end of an era. Like a little bit of my childhood had just ended. Another reason for this “not feeling christmassy” feeling may be that for 14 years I grew up having a snowy picturesque christmas. But this year is a little different, once again we are in the nice warm Australia, having a 91 degree christmas eve rather than a 21 degree christmas eve.
But as long as I’m with my family I know I will have a fun, loving, happy Christmas. I hope you have the same, my best holiday wishes
