How old were you when

I'm 24 and every year santa still leaves me presents under the tree. When the gifts stop coming I'll stop believing

Santa stopped sending me gifts 3yrs ago (I was 20)

I was 5...first, I got this weird idea that Santa was actually "mom and dad" because Santa used the SAME wrapping paper as the gifts from mom and dad!! lol So then I told mom that "Reindeer can't fly!" and "How could Santa go around the world to everyone's house in one night WITH flying reindeer??" I just didn't think it sounded realistic, even at age 5, so mom told me! They still signed "from Santa" on the gifts up until a couple years ago though!

I was like 7... The easter bunny gave it away I didn't know how just ONE bunny could go and give every kid a basket! I mean he doesn't even have a sleigh! And then I figured, well mom and dad have to give me the basket. Now wait, What about Santa.. Ahhhhhh, I get it now LOL

Some of my friends around 10 and 11 just figured it out and they asked me if I beleived! I just started laughing!

Laura your comment made me laugh, and what a lovely way to think about it really isn't it? my daughter's friend knew about the same age as my Melissa, but she just kept pretending she did not to her parents, she did have younger siblings as well, but she kept it going for some time and they were none the wiser, but we were, but what the heck she enjoyed her little fairytale that bit longer and why not.

But the Santa in people's hearts is always there.....sometimes you have to look for him, sometimes he's there all year 'round!

Diddo! Anyways, when I quit believing in the red, big, chubby guy, I was in 1st grade. My two cousins told me!

I think I was about 8 or 9. I was at the dollar store with my mom and I saw the same booklight I found in my stocking and asked her. But, since I have two little sisters I still love the surprise of finding out what Santa has left under the tree each year.
