How old were you when you learned Santa wasn't real? How did you find out?

I don't care what you think but even though I am 14 years old I still believe in Santa and I will never stop believing in Santa no matter what. When I have kids I am going to make sure that they believe in Santa their whole entire childhood I don't care if they don't believe in Santa when they are adults but I want them to believe in Santa their whole childhood. My dad even gets me and my siblings videos from Santa even though he may think that me and my younger brother may not believe in Santa anymore but even though I know that you have to create these videos from something I still don't stop believing

[Asker]

Awwww! Thats so sweet ❤

[hailiegirl12]

😊😊
Whats even cuter is when my 2 year old sister sees a picture of Santa, she says "Look, it's Papa!" because our Papa that passed away in October 2020 looks like Santa.

Santa is actually real. You'll be lucky if you ever figure out how that is true. But I promise it is very true.

[Heather06]

That's so adorable ❤

I was 10 when I found out. I saw my mother putting presents under the tree 😆 At first she told me that she was helping Santa 🎅 then she just told me the truth. She figured it was time I knew. She told me not to tell my little brother or sister which I didn't do.

[Asker]

Lmao, its kind of similar to how i found out!

[Opinion Owner]

Really? That's so funny 🤣

The first time I had doubt I was like 5. I wondered why Santa wasn’t on the news because if he could get around the world in one day and no one else could why weren’t people talking about it? I was sitting on the floor watching the evening news with my parents and just thinking. I had flown in planes with my grandpa before then and knew that it was a big thing to get around quickly. So why wasn’t Santa on the news? It didn’t make sense. I didn’t let it spoil the presents but in the back of my mind, I knew something was up.

[Asker]

That was kind of really smart for a 5 year old!

[Jay3344]

Tanks

[NathanDavis]

I was never told Santa was real... lmao

I was around three or four... the first time I saw a "Santa in person" at this mall, and didn't get close that big old creepy jolly person...

days later at the daycare, another damn Santa showed up and took pics with children, and when they asked me I was like hell no... you're not going to take me and hand me to that monster... lol

I was just too shy for any of that, so my parents never got me into any of that either

[Asker]

Awww! Hahah. Santa is not creepy though! 😔

[NathanDavis]

but I was three years old... and extremely, painfully shy, so... any "stranger" trying to get close to me would creep me out

[Caramelpie]

I’ve always known that he wasn’t real because my mom never lies to me about anything since I was a kid. So, when she told me about Santa and the gifts she explained it well and I got it. I never cared to be sad anyways and that made me a rare kid. lol

[Asker]

Thats pretty good!

[Caramelpie]

Thanks

[Kaneki05]

Odd thing about 11.
Even though i already knew god didn't and Easter bunny and the rest pretty much always, cannot even remember believing such things ever. And my parents always knew about me not getting along with people who believe in such things.
I think with Santa i was just in denial lol.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Santa is real. He was a real person who gave children some presents when they were sleeping in his town. He is not alive now. My parents told me the story when i was 4 (i asked my mom) 😁. I never believes this all red dressed white beatded guy is the real deal, but nothing more than a modern image of the legend St Nicholas.

[DonkeyDan]

Wait, what? santa isn't real? 😂

I think I was 6 or 7 when one of my gifts had a price sticker on it, I started to suspect.

[Asker]

Awww! I was around 6 as well, because i was awake the whole night and i heard my mother enter my room and leave the presents

[purplepoppy]

The main thing is never let your parents know that you know he's not real or they might stop your presents.

[Asker]

Lmao

[TheSpaceGnome]

I never thought he was real.

As soon as I was told about him, I asked myself how it was possible to visit that many houses in one night, and came to the conclusion pretty quickly that anything moving that fast would just disintegrate. Plus deer can't fly, and we didn't have a chimney, and I stayed up and waited to see who actually puts the presents there.

[MCheetah]

I grew up poor and didn't get Christmas presents most years. I literally never believed in Santa Claus.

[Asker]

Damn, sorry about that

[Blackcupcake]

I've actually never believed in Santa... I have two older brothers and they used to make fun of the whole thing with Santa so for as long as I can remember, I've known it was BS lmao

[Asker]

Aw, its good though! I was heartbroken when i learnt that Santa wasn't real.. i was 6 tho haha

[Blackcupcake]

hahaha awww that's adorable!!

[888theGreat]

I stayed awake all night. Also after watching Columbo , you figure no fire place, no forced entry, no broken windows, and Santa didn't have a key to the door, so there couldn't be a Santa that comes in your house. Now if they would have left gifts outside on porch , maybe I might believe in theory that Santa left them there.

[888theGreat]

I was probably 8 or 9

[FunkyMonkee]

I think i was about 12 and it was my ex-sister that ruined it for us when she was 9!! Incredible bitch!!!

[Asker]

Lol ex sister?

[KieranByrne]

Ex sister in law? 👌🤣 I nearly died reading that!

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, she and my other sister severely fucked over mom and myself a few years ago so, I don't consider either of them to be my sisters anymore.

[Asker]

I'm sorry about that

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you!! I just wish there was a way to reverse it!! We were both dealt a GREAT injustice by those bitches!! Me more than mom. She was already dead when they stole all her money and sold her house, which was SUPPOSED to be mine!!

[ArrowheadSW]

I think probably around 6. I think one of my brothers told me?

[Asker]

Lol, its always the siblings! Thank god, my brother did not rat out Santa for me! I found it out myself 😔
It was heartbreaking

[lilyanony1]

Very young like 4 or 5 a nasty cousin decided to tell me. She was always a spiteful bisch

[Asker]

Damn, that sucks!!

[lilyanony1]

Yea she was a nasty child growing up. Funny just how precious she is about her own child.

[NetSapien]

Santa is indeed a real man, he lived in 4th and is from a town that was called Myra. His name was Saint Nicholas of Myra.

[Shootingstars21]

High school. I was told though that if I didn't believe in Santa I didn't get any presents. My parents never told me i had to confront them about it. I had kids in middle school make fun of me and tell me he isn't real but when I asked my own parents they kept saying it was real.

[Prettygurl12]

I don't think I ever thought he was real lol I was that kid in elementary school ruining the lives of my classmates by telling them that "Santa" was their parents 😂

[exitseven]

I was probably 6 0r 7 years old. My parents used to hide the Christmas presents in the attic. We had one of those pull down doors and one day my mother had the door pulled down and I saw all the presents. I figured it out from there.

[Shortman70]

WHAT? Are you saying he's not. I don't believe you. I watch him deliver presents on the Santa tracker over X-mas. He will always be real in our 💕💕.

[Cleo12345]

I work with a teacher who told her Grade 4 class Santa wasn’t real. At the end of the day they then told their little brothers and sisters and it was a disaster... lots of parent phone calls to the Principal

[Little_Bumblebee]

I think it came slowly over some time, but if I remember correctly it was about when I was 7 or so years old.

[HighValue]

He was totally real, or at least St. Nick was real, not the magical fat man that goes down chimneys and flies with reindeer.
