We’re very sorry if this article is what ruins your childhood, but this is a high school magazine and if you don’t already know, it’s about time someone tells you the truth about Santa... After sending out an anonymous survey, we compiled the best "Santa isn't real" stories ASFM students had to tell. Here are some of our top picks.

I put laxatives in Santa’s cookies and milk and found out my grandpa was on the toilet all day

Johann Backhoff me dijo en mi third-grade classroom y como le tiraba toda, me traume y le creí. 

Me meti a Google Maps y vi que no existe el North Pole :(

My drunk aunt told me she had to set the presents for her kids

My mom thought I already knew and asked me what I wanted for Christmas

In 3rd grade we were supposed to write Santa a letter, a boy shouted "So we are writing it for our parents!" and I overheard the teacher telling him he shouldn't say that because not everyone knew the truth ;(

Euge Calvi told me

I found out about the tooth fairy and connected the dots 

I saw my mom's Amazon cart had the same gifts under my Christmas tree

Found my letter inside my parents’ closet

I saw my friend move The Elf on the Shelf

Me dijo mi muchacha

I started to wonder why my older brothers hugged my parents when they opened their presents

In a survey for El 107

Amanecí a las 7 de la mañana para ver si ya había regalos debajo del árbol y caché a mi papá en el acto 

My friends were talking about Santa being their parents and I had to pretend like I already knew to look cool

My mom got mad at me because my brother and I were complaining about our gifts so she shouted at us and told us she was Santa
