From 0-10, at first we start to think, that an old man dressed all red and white beard brings gifts, we are waiting in impatiently to open the gifts because supposedly we behave well all year.

Of the 10-20, here we have to divide in two, the closest ages to 10, and the closest to 20. At the earliest ages of 10, we have already discovered the truth, but in some cases we still pretend not to because of the spirit. At the age of about 20, we just want to have dinner in peace, with family and in the end go with friends to drink at until sunrise, as a tradition. A new family tradition also begins, If were young children, we have to be “Santa” and deliver the gifts, even if we don't want to.

From the 20s-30s, we started to give real importance to these family meetings, dinner, spent the night talking and be Santa, again.

From 30-40, here, it begins to divide, one year dinner is made at one's house, the next year at another house. Here we pass the testimony of Santa to someone in their twenties, if not, it's us until we can pass the testimony.

40- (...), here we are more like Santa , but we no longer do that role, we just want a quiet dinner and teach our children that the most important thing is not to receive gifts, but to be with family.
