When did you find out Santa wasn't real?

Question

purplepoppy · Accepted Answer

The santa story is great, it allows young minds to piece together the evidence and use logic to debunk their parents, and to a kid thats power. The smart ones don't let on that they don't believe in case they stop getting presents.

But there's always that kid who's the last in his class to figure it out, the one who clings on denouncing the other kids as being brainwashed by the system. Which raises the question, who is the oldest kid in the world to still believe in santa?

Summeroflove · Answer

I was young and saw a ad saying “some kids aren’t getting Christmas presents this year” or something. One of those guilt tripping ads that some kids aren’t getting Christmas this year. I turned to my mom and said “But doesn’t Santa deliver presents” my mom tried to cover for it. But at some point I just asked my parents and they told me he does not exist but not to tell my younger sister.

Even after my sister and I stopped believing. We still played along with it for a while. I still think Santa is fun to believe in sometimes. Maybe he exists out there somewhere lol.

SeekerOfTruth007 · Answer

I was 3 years old.

Christian parents are such hypocrites, being liars and adulterers on Christmas day, and we all know how Jesus felt about hypocrites: It's the number 1 sin he actually opposed in the Gospels.

I figured it out on my own when I was 11. Too many things weren’t adding up. 😅 I asked my parents and they confirmed it for me. No tears. No sadness. I was fine with it.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

If you're talking about the Christmas Santa Clause, quite early actually. I wasn't stupid that the wind isn't gonna carry a letter to the North Pole and that reindeer can't fly. It was so obvious that my parents were the ones buying the gifts, especially when I didn't get EVERYTHING I asked for. But it was still fun to pretend he was real and write him letters.

I never thought of Santa as something "supernatural", when I was a kid, I thought he was just another state employee, like a postman or a chimney sweep.
