I am the youngest so Santa was kept up for a while because my sister and brother are both 6 and 7 years older than me. My mom always did a pile of toys and goodies seperated into three piles from santa for all of us three kids. She used to say when I stopped believing in Santa he would stop coming....one night i got up and went downstairs and caught my dad putting together a toy for me ...this sorta ended my belief in Santa...I wasn't heart broken or anything because it felt ok to know the truth....also at that point my parents shared with me the real meaning of Christmas....Jesus being born. I think it's totally ok to teach kids about Santa in this big bad world of terror and grief why not give kids some enjoyment and happiness while they can still enjoy it and are young. They will face the hard truth of this world before to long and the fantasy of life will be gone.

In some ways I still believe in Santa Claus. I believe in what he represents, the spirit of giving and good will.
I honestly don't remember when I realized my parents were the ones who gave the presents, later than usual as I found out I had a neighbor who staged a couple of scenes when I was at the normal age (around 6-7) for kids to be told (by older siblings usually, which I didn't have) that Mom and Dad were Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
My 18 year old daughter still insists we put out cookies for Santa every Christmas eve! :)

I still believe and I am 40. I know that the real thing is not but I also know that many take on what santa clause is supposed to be. My daughter is 10 and has questioned me a few times now and I told her that maybe there is not someone who drives a sleigh but there are people out there who really really love to give and to make all others happy. She asked me if I was santa and I replied bye asking her if she thought I was real,she said yes so I said yes I am but there are many santa's out there. Santa has done nothing but keep childhood dreams/fantasys alive and I am sure to keep doing this besides it's all about miracles and love, giving and so on. We give or we vollenteer, either way we feel good about helping other to smile and in exchange we feel great inside.

My older brother told me when I was 7. I remember being very very upset, and I called him a liar and said I was going to tell on him. When I told my Mom what my brother said, she told me to ignore him. Which I did till I was 10. I figured out as long as I believed in Santa I always got more presents than my siblings. So I couldn't let them down and believed for years after.

Oh, probably the usual way. I overheard my parents talkin' about buying the stuff.
Doesn't stop me from believing, though!
Ya know the way some girls are "Stuck on the uniform", when it comes to cops and firemen?"
When it comes to Santa I am sort of stuck on that nice cute suit! Soft, furry, bright red. Yah!
The big buckle. If I find a nice Santa maybe me and him can get down to business! Ho, Ho, HoH!

I was six. My mother had passed away, and she was the one who made all the preperations for Christmas. My father had no idea what to do ,so that Christmas morning, me and my sister came down to two lumps of tin foil under the tree- inside them were toys from the local convenience store. I think that was when I realized there was no Santa.
