He may be a celebrity baby in our eyes, but Justin Bieber has revealed that he has never believed in Santa Claus – because his mum couldn’t bear to lie to him.
Speaking to AOL Music, Justin said that his mum always told him the truth about Father Christmas, so that he would continue to believe in God. Um, we guess there’s some logic in that somewhere.
Justin said: “My mom always told me there wasn't a Santa.”
He continued: “This was her logic – she thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn't real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her.”
Although he missed out on all sorts of fun (which mainly consists of putting out biscuits on Christmas Eve), Justin likes the fact that his mum Pattie is “straight-up and honest with me all the time”.
Justin also managed to keep his gob shut when it came to the festive season at school – he said: “I didn't tell my friends or ruin it for anyone -- I was a good kid!”
On Christmas tradition, Justin described a game that his family plays on December 25 th . He said: “We played a game on Christmas Day where everyone brought a girl gift and a boy gift. You roll the dice and if you get doubles, you get to pick a present and if you don't, it's the next person's turn.
“Then, the next time you roll doubles you get to choose someone else's present and switch.
“One time I really wanted a Game Boy but I ended up with pots and pans, which was disappointing. I think I gave them to my mom.”
We never suspected that Justin could be more intelligent than us, but that didn’t make any sense at all.
And his Christmas wishes?
“I just wish to be happy and that everyone be healthy in my family.
“And I wish that everybody gets to hear my Christmas album -- and hopefully like it!”
Smooth plugging there, Bieb.
