Seven, I then went on to realize that God was just a coping mechanism my parents used to get over the reality that there was no Santa Claus.

I was pretty young, maybe around four or five. My older brother told me as a way to hurt me, and naturally I was crushed.
But then I started believing again after a year or so of dejection and disillusionment because my dad was one tricky man. One Christmas Eve he put presents at our front door sometime during the day and the snow came and covered up all tracks. My brother and I were dancing right by the door when the doorbell rang (my dad triggered it in the basement) and we opened the door and there were the presents, with no tracks. It was great.
He did something like that every year that he lived with us, and even though we wisened up soon enough that he was behind it all, it was fun to figure out his tricks.

When I found the cookies my mom took that I left for Santa. I guess I was around 4 or 5.

There's no Santa Claus? Who eats my cookies then?
In all honesty I was about 6, but my sister (being as gullible as she is) believed in him till about 13.

Since I was born. And also i don't celebrate Christmas.
Many people believe that Jesus was born on December 25. But December is a rainy, cold season in Bethlehem. Shepherds would not be out in the fields overnight with their flocks at that time of year. Also the Roman Caesar would not likely have required people who were already inclined to revolt against him to make that trip in the dead of winter to register their newborn. Evidently Jesus was born sometime in the early Autumn of the year.
LUKE 2:1-11
1 Now in those days a decree went forth from Caesar Au·gus´tus for all the inhabited earth to be registered;
2 (this first registration took place when Qui·rin´i·us was governor of Syria;)
3 and all people went traveling to be registered, each one to his own city.
4 Of course, Joseph also went up from Gal´i·lee, out of the city of Naz´a·reth, into Ju·de´a, to David’s city, which is called Beth´le·hem, because of his being a member of the house and family of David,
5 to get registered with Mary, who had been given him in marriage as promised, at present heavy with child.
6 While they were there, the days came to the full for her to give birth.
7 And she gave birth to her son, the firstborn, and she bound him with cloth bands and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the lodging room.
8 There were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks.
9 And suddenly Jehovah’s angel stood by them, and Jehovah’s glory gleamed around them, and they became very fearful.
10 But the angel said to them: “Have no fear, for, look! I am declaring to YOU good news of a great joy that all the people will have,
11 because there was born to YOU today a Savior, who is Christ [the] Lord, in David’s city.
