When did you stop believing in Santa?

[Kiri 7,278]

I remember my mom sitting me down when I was about ten years old. She told me the truth about Santa, the tooth fairy, and the Easter Bunny all in one sweep. I remember being in denial about it for a year or so! XD 

[TBD 17,231]

I know for the fact that St. Nicholas is real.

[Luminance 2,182]

Never cared about santa so I never came to believe in him. Sure, kids at school felt attached to this ideal and I was left out but I didn't care for one bit about it.

lol im grown up enough to know its my parents who left pressies for us, but it doesnt take the fun out of it. I guess im holding onto the lore/gimmick of Father Christmas for when I have kids. My family go all out at Christmas and the stocking presents havent vanished because we love it so much and have done it since I was born (im the oldest sibling). 

 

plus im a big kid at heart and a wannabe mum, so i guess i still keep a look out for stuff my for my kids to enjoy.

I probably was 7 or 8 when I stopped believing in Santa

[Vulcan 3,254]

STOP?! My good sir, Santa Claus is REAL!

 

 

Do you think gifts just manifest themselves into existence underneath the Christmas Tree?! Hmmmm? 

[Dreambiscuit 8,343]

I never stopped believing! There may have been some point in my earlier youth when I may have questioned it a bit without deciding one way or the other, but once I got old enough to see things more clearly, I absolutely believed and now I always will! Jolly 'Ol St. Nick is real and that's a FACT! 

[Kings&Hooves14 616]

I was around eight when I offically stopped believing, but I had my suspicions even at seven or six years old.

 

I still love the idea of Santa, though!

[20% Cooler Than Cake 161]

At a younger age than I can remember.  My parents really never saw any point in lying to me about a fictional character actually existing, so I didn't have to go through the emotional trauma that many others have experienced.  Plus, at least the Easter Bunny is still real, right?

[Oleks 1,983]

When I was 5 I figured out that my country’s equivalent of Santa is not real. I just thought about it for a moment, and it came to me that it’s all lies. My parents confirmed it when I asked directly. Funny thing is that I believed in him longer than I believed in god, because the presents were the proof of Santa’s existence.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,458]

I don't remember when but for me it was slow progress. First Santa stopped coming(I still left wishlists outside) and gifts were just in basked outside waiting so my Father brought them in and at last came the time when I had to buy gifts to my parents and sister too. But I was scared of Santa anyway so the fact didn't really hurt me.(I was always hiding behind couch.) xD

[KatieBelle 302]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I'm in denial.

 

I was probably around nine. I found out when my brother did, despite his being almost two years older.

 

... It was probably more around 8 or younger but my cousin in now 8 and I don't want to think about that. Shhhhhhh.

[KTAG 4,083]

I stopped believing in him when I was 12.

WAIT Santa doesn't exist...

[Celtore 2,769]

12 or 13. I was a trusting child. I figured out the tooth fairy and easter bunny early, but Santa was the last to fall and it took a while.

[Steve Piranha 29,143]

Around 11 or 12 when I've stopped believing in Santa

[Moony the Cat 3,697]

I stopped believing in Santa, after i heard from someone else at School, that Parents give us the Presents.

 

After i heard that, i told my Parents about it and asked them, if it was true and then they told me.

Im not sure which age i was...maybe 10-11?

[OLD ACCOUNT 185]

i was around 9 i think or 10....cant really remember but i saw a santa tag in my moms room that had my name on it so thats when i stopped believing in him.

[BritishBrony2012 734]

When I didn't get what I wanted.

[DubWolf 16,738]

17 :-p . You can laugh . I only believed so long because "he" wrote to me back, so having that solid evidence made me feel sure he was real .

 

Someone told me the post office was the one who wrote back so I was all like "ohhhhh ."

[Derpaherpamerpa 160]

3 or 4 years old, can't really remember

[PonkiePoo 735]

I'm not exactly sure what age. But as my knowledge increased, I realized how silly the whole thing was to be possible.

 

Still glad I got to believe in it for a time, I had some fun with the idea of it. 

[Appley Hooves 136]

Think I was around 13, just flat out asked my Dad one day and he said no there wasn't a Santa. Ironically that was about when I started getting stuff I didn't want under the tree xD

[Prospekt 10,984]

I was 10 or 11 when my parents told me, but I had my doubts for a while.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

Probably around 8 or 9 when I saw my parents putting from Santa gifts under the tree.

I don't remember how old I was exactly, but I remember recognizing my parents' handwriting on the gift tags. So old enough to read, at least.
