I just became suspicious on my own around age 8. I think what sparked my suspicion was that Santa had the same handwriting as my mom. Also Christmas Eve 2000 my dad took my siblings and I out for the day for pizza and to see the Jim Carey Grinch movie. When we got back my mom was standing at the kitchen table and there was a scrap of wrapping paper on the table. Years later she told us she would have my dad take us out so she could wrap presents.

I still follow where Santa is on the online NATO tracker on Christmas Eve. I think it’s just a really fun thing to do. I love finding out when he’s in my town. I don’t believe but I just like the spirit of it.
