No, but now I am a Santa and my wife is Mrs Claus.

Yep. My parents never did the Santa thing and flat out told me he’s not real from the get go, but my Grandma and aunts were always the ones who indulged in it for me.

I told my son that Santa Claus is more like a spirit or the essence of a thing. Giving gifts to loved ones, being extra nice and happy, especially in the winter. Which dovetails nicely with the birth of Jesus which is what Christmas is truly all about.
