Cocktails? Real men drink it straight :) (Oh, it's also pretty lethal when taken in quantity - I'm talking 4 day hangover territory here).

Tell me you didn't believe in Santa, Bunny and Tooth Fairy.

Santa and the Tooth Fairy I'll give you, but the Easter Bunny has only recently taken off in the UK. It was always seen as an American thing (along with Winnie the Pooh having a Gopher for a friend - come on Disney, Winnie The Pooh is British and we don't have Gophers here in the UK).

Really ? We're in Australia and I grew up with the easter bunny. My mum is German and she grew up with it.

My teacher told the whole class when I was 7. My parents told me when I was 12, I think ( I was scared to admit I knew, I thought the presents would stop ). I agree with you, it's a harmless bit of fun, something that makes the world a bit more magical for a kid.

It's like a God to me, must capitalise the deity.

One of our customers to our surprise turned out to be a distillery in Antigua, we perused their wares and they had some very high end aged rums so we went down to the local govt. liquor store and they ordered us in a bottle. I forget what it cost but it was incredibly higher than even the most expensive standard rum on the store shelves. I still remember the first sip, I was completely surprised, nothing like any rum I had ever tasted before. It was criminal to mix it so we didn't. Very tasty.

Any chance the old memory might be able to tell me the name of the Rum? I will not be able to afford anything pricey for a while but when I do, I would like to have something worthwhile in mind.

Yup. Really. I hadn't heard of the Easter Bunny until I was about 9 or 10.

Have you ever tried Cacique 500? My current favorite though it is nigh impossible to get here in the states. Anyone here from Venezuela...?

Our kids know the truth but we still pretend there is a bunny and santa. I tell them I never want to stifle their imagination or creativity so we have fun knowing it's a farse but it's a great farse and we really make the day right.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :(

my parents never signed most of the gifts even when I was a rugrat. My dad still signs weird gifts 'Rudolph' or 'the elves', etc. Since most of the time he acts even weirder I'm not going to object. :rolleyes:

ditto, especially since the tooth fairy money *did* stop once they knew I knew. :doh: All their efforts were undone because I was precocious enough to have started on their readers digest magazines when I was in 1st grade or so.
