How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa Claus?

Question

I was around 9 or 10 but told my parents I still believed until I was 11. I thought I would get less presents if they knew I didn't believe anymore 🤣

purplepoppy · Answer

I wonder who is the oldest person to still believe in Santa.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

My answer is never. I look it as this: Santa doesn't come anymore so it's your job to get your siblings, nieces, and nephews their presents, as you're an adult now. You're the secret elf, do your job.

petitedollbabee · Answer

I was 7 when I figured out that the tooth fairy wasn’t real, I caught my mum sneaking money under my pillow. And after that I realised on my own that the Easter bunny and Santa were not real either.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

10.  My classmates already knew by that time, but they were hiding the truth from me so I’d believe in it longer 🥹💖

Somewhere between Christmas Eve 1967 and 1970, I got up from my bed that night and found my parents putting presents around the tree. I caught them. We then had "The Talk".

Frankly, I was relieved.

I was old enough to be perplexed about Santa Claus...

You see, on Halloween with my little plastic pumpkin going Trick or Treat from door-to-door hoping to canvas my entire neighborhood in suburban Long Island, I'd get to maybe 3 blocks with a full pumpkin and 2 or 3 hours spent walking with the other kids to do all this. So, come Christmas, I am thinking "How is Santa Claus going to EVERY HOUSE ALL OVER THE WORLD and with all those toys in just that one sled and all in one night when I can't even finish trick-or-treating in my neighborhood?" It just didn't make sense.

So, when my parents told me the truth, I was greatly relieved because that explained away what was confusing me.

I still believe in Slash though...

I think 6. My brother and I thought Santa Claus was a bunch of bullshit and asked our dad if he was real. He told us that indeed he was a bunch of bullshit, and that our mom and him got us presents because they loved us. The next year during Christmas at my aunt and uncle's house, my cousin was saying "look what Santa brought me for Christmas, ra ra rara etc." My bro and I were 7 and our cousin was 10. We looked at each other and laughed, we couldn't believe he still thought Santa Claus was real. I told my cousin "there's no such thing as Santa Claus, your mom and dad got you that". He looked like somebody just pissed in his Cheerios, then ran away crying to his mom. She was very unhappy about it and told my mom and dad "I can't believe they told him Santa isn't real, that was very mean". My dad, forever the East Coast dickhead, responded " I can't believe your 10 year old son still believes in Santa Claus either" and laughed at her.

Chill_Thoughts · Answer

Oof I was like 11 too 😂 but kids are so dumb really. At home I never thought it was santa cause my parents never said so and like, I would go with my mom to find gifts for my dad 😂😂
Buuut, we have a xtmas dinner at my grandma's and after we eat the kids all go down to the basement as well as a good portion of the adults... And the people upstairs (who stayed cause santa needs help dividing what belongs to who) stomp their feet and ring this cowbell when the gifts are ready... It was very believable

katiesmuff · Answer

Had to call my mom to get the answer! She said around 7 I was beginning to realize something was up with this Santa thing, but still had no problem at the mall sitting on his lap showing him what I wanted for Christmas from my pensiled list.

Potteplante · Answer

I believed in the yulelads, which is the Icelandic version of Santa, just 13 times more fun, since there is 13 of them.

I was 10 - caught my brother sneaking one of the presents into my shoe one of the nights.

Grade 2 when I was like 7 years old. I mean honestly, the concept of a fan man with a white beard going down a chimney to give gifts. I thought, okay, how can Santa get into someone's house if someone lives in apartment building or someone who has a house with no chimney. Another explantation, reindeer don't fly and how can someone travel the world that quickly on a slay for billions of people on earth. The whole concept was stupid to me and didn't make any sense. Even at a young age I know it was fake I wasn't disappointed. But grown ups believe in something called governments, politicians democracy it's all a pipe dream -- 8 hour work days/5 days a wk, interest and taxes are the biggest scams people bought into and just submitted their livelihood to a corrupt system. I'm just keeping it 100.

KonkeyDong · Answer

I was never under the impression that a strange foreign old Man would break and enter into people's property in pursuit of Children.

Instead, I was told of a once-was "Saint Nicholas" who, in olden times, used to put fruit in people's shoes.

shiran_ · Answer

Don't know if I ever really believed but probably around the age of 10 the tradition faded out and it wasn't hinted that presents are from Santa anymore

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Possibly 12. Mostly thanks to my ex-sister. Apparently, she caught mom & dad putting the presents out one year and thought she should tell the rest of us. Inconsiderate bitch!!
