How old were you when

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

You stopped believing in Santa?

I had my doubts when i was 7-8 but I still wanted to believe it.

That's about when I started havind doubts aswell, but, Christmas was more fun for me when I believed Santa delivered the gifts so I kept trying to believe he was real until I was about 10 or so I think....

I was nine and I asked my mom, "is Santa real?" She said "...I don't know...." Well obviously that answer explained it right there. She acted like I was supposed to be upset, but I didn't care one bit. When you have a stocking full of presents, who cares who it comes from???

Sorry, we never had him in the family..

I stopped believing when I was 8 or 9. I'm 13 now but My mom of course told me that he wasn't real

Ditto. I just knew not to come downstairs, and let him do his thing.

As far as the Easter Bunny, my dad (RIP) would hide the Easter Basket behind the same chair every year.

I was really young (not quite 5 years old) when I asked my Mom if Santa Claus was real. I remember her reply was to tell me the "Yes Virginia" story.

I was 5-7. I found a bunch of toys in the basement & then the 1 from Santa happened to be one of the toys in the basement. I also got 100% proof from my dad when I was 7. I got a fish tank for my 6th xmas & then the nest year I asked dad how much the tank cost. He said about 50.00. Then I yelled out, BUT IT WAS FROM SANTA, SO HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!?! My dad burst out LOL & said you got me. But we never told my sister until she was 11. She was a little slow & it would have crushed her too much if we just told her when she wasn't ready for it.

7 years old. My parents didn't tell me until I was 12 that he wasn't real. Seriously, like I still belived in him. My little cousin who is three and on who is four still belivies in him. I pretend he is real for them.

Never believed in him, my parents didn't try too hard. Not to mention we always had cable. Cable will ruin that for any kid who actually believes.
