At What Age Did You Stop Believing In Santa Claus?

Question

Or have you stopped yet? You're such a big kid!

Answer 1

14! lol

This is a cool thing my Mom and Brother did for my innocence, and I'll never forget it:

It was Christmas eve, My mom used to let us sit by the TV to watch this news/ weather channel, so we could count down the minutes/seconds until we could open up the next gift (she allowed us to open up to 4 gifts every 10 minutes on christmas eve and the rest in the morning)

This christmas was different.

She told me I had to go to bed early, which I wasnt having because I didnt have cookies for Santa and I wanted to tell him that A) my brother & his friends were the ones that ate them off earlier & B) His behaviour was horrible this year and he shouldn't get anything! lol

My mom told me she'd put out Rum cake for him (hey! My parents are from the Islands lol) and he would love it!
I wasnt having that neither I remember trying to explain that Santa is Canadian and he only wants cookies not rum cake! I remember her laughing... I of course wasnt... we lived in an apartment... we didnt even have a chimney for pete's sake! I was certain Santa was going to skip my house completely!!!

I remember her lying in the bed with me until I fell asleep. I had this bear in my hand that recorded stuff when you pressed the button on his finger.... All of a sudden I hear my front door open and the loudest "HO HO HO" I almost jumped out of my skin!!!

I wanted to but my mom held me back.... so I pressed the bear's hand to record the sounds I heard in case no one believed that their was a Santa Clause!

And then I heard him Talking to himself about how wonderful my brother and I behaved for my mom this year etc etc. Then what really suprised me is when I heard Santa eating something.... IT WAS THE CAKE!!!!! after he was done he said "That was great!.... Im so sick and tired of cookies! heres an extra gift for (my name goes here)"

I just looked at my mom like we are soooo leaving cake out next year!

Then with that he was gone!

Of course after being touched with that I spread the word that there is a Santa, but after I started telling my high school friends there was a Santa, She finally told me.... Santa was my brother LOL

Answer 3

I think I was nine years old. My parents told me on Easter morning. Every Easter, they use to do the whole "Easter bunny left a basket" routine. But, that Easter, they were so broke that they couldn't afford to buy anything. Rather than lying or letting me think that the Easter bunny passed me by, they decided to tell me that there was no such thing as the Easter bunny and to explain why they didn't get me anything for Easter. It didn't bother me all that much. I understood. But, after pondering on the situation for a few moments, I asked, "Well, if there's no Easter bunny, does that mean there's no Santa? What about the tooth fairy?" They told me the truth. But it didn't upset me; because I reasoned that, if the "holiday people" only existed in my mind, the same must be true of those scarey creatures hiding under my bed and in my closet. LOL

Answer 4

The third grade instructor in our college (pupils are approximately 8 yrs. historic), informed them that Santa isn't actual. I concept she became as quickly as going to be fired. the lady isn't precisely a glittery bulb first of all. mothers and dads had to kill her. actually, my scholars (8th graders) don't have faith, yet I nevertheless do no longer talk approximately it at school. Its in basic terms now no longer my place. I do remember that my brother, who became 10 on the time, informed my mom that he knew there mandatory to be a Santa Claus because of the fact that there was once NO way Daddy would purchase us a majority of those concerns! LOL. My Dad obtained a kick out of that. i think of they obtained to stretch out his concept in Santa some better years with that concept. keep them believing as long as possible! They advance up too straight away.

Answer 5

Probably like 8 I wasn't disappointed at all. I remember I was talking to my friends at school and I'm like well ( I got a really expensive ring ) for Christmas that year and I'm like no way my parents could afford that, and on the other hand Santa's signature coincidentally looked exactly like my moms lol

Answer 6

A girl at school told me when i was 7

i remember mum pulling into the drive way and i said "mum laura told me there is no such thing as Santa" and she just goes "yeah well there isnt"

and that was it

Answer 7

I stop at the age of 4,

Answer 8

My older cousins tried to tell me(I should've listened), but my parents kept up the hype so I was 11 when I officially stopped believing.. my mom told me the truth..

She only told me because they used to keep my gifts at my cousin's house and his wife went into labor on Christmas Eve and so they weren't home for my parents to get the gifts.. I ended up getting them later Christmas night.. sux huh..

Answer 9

I think it's great to believe in something like that...it's all about the magic of Christmas.....it's just so wonderful!!! Don't remember when I found out the truth, but I will have to say, that i still believe in the magic of it all.

Answer 10

At 11, a friend from school told me it and I pretended to do as if I already know it, but inside I felt heartbroken. Now I think that was a funny moment.
