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

[Elena_Stewart]

For me, if I have kids in the future, I will tell them that Santa or tooth fairy aren’t real….

[eagle1951]

damn he's not. well shoot who was that man in my house over Christmas

[Elena_Stewart]

👀👀

[NathanDavis]

I was never told he was real... wouldn't have believed it either, lol

[Elena_Stewart]

Good parents and smart kid😊

[strateguy632]

i was 7, and noticed the santa decorations. so i asked what is that? pa said christian believe in fake santa.

so i found out.

meanwhile he proved tooth fairy real because i didn't wake up when fairy put money under my pillow. must be magic.

i believed n argued with classmates until age 9. finaly another tooth fell so i didn't tell my parents. the tooth fairy did not know.

then i told my parents.

the could've said "you old" but lied. i said, "actualy it came out yesterday no tooth fairy."

they argued "we need to tell the fairy". lol.

[Elena_Stewart]

Wow…lol

[Bricealan]

I caught Santa in bed with my mother, on Christmas morning, and he still had his Santa hat on! ! I lost all confidence in Santa after that, AND he not only ate the cookies and drank the milk ! Well, you get the picture? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤦‍♂️😒😒😂

I was only 5 at the time... but... I had an idea?

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao…

[Dinklex3]

I always knew he wasn’t real. We learned about Santa from school and television. We knew he wasn’t real, but it was fun believing in the possibility, lol.

Even with the tooth fairy, my parents would give us $1. We knew it was them and not the tooth fairy, but it was still fun talking about the existence of the tooth fairy.

i remember as a child that an elf ran under my leg. it had a big horn on its head but i just figured it was normal. so while i sit on santas lap i feel a lot of commotion under my nethers.

i thought about screaming out and tellin me maw, but it kind of felt good.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

9 or 10. My classmates already knew about it being not real, but they were hiding it from me, so I’d keep believing and being happy.

[Elena_Stewart]

Cute….

[Breanna_nonbinary]

Don’t remember. But I think that parents shouldn’t tell their kids he is real. When kids find out they’ve been lied to all this time it plants the seeds of distrust. Lying to a child about things is great way to ruin a relationship later in life.

[BoopBoopBeep]

What is this madness you speak of foul temptress!

[Elena_Stewart]

Yeah…you should accept the truth…lmao..

[BoopBoopBeep]

Those cookies I put out aren't eating themselves. Just ask the mice if they've ever seen a self-eating cookie?

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao..

[OtterMan68]

I was about 6. I overheard some older boys talking about how they saw their dad sneak down and put presents "from Santa" under the tree.

[Elena_Stewart]

What a sad thing…. lol

[Staximus]

I think I was 6. I remember when I was 7 I told my cousins there was no such thing as Santa Claus and they started crying, and they were 9 and 10

[Elena_Stewart]

Why did you do that…lol

[exitseven]

We had one of those trap doors that went up to the attic. Ny mother had pulled it down and I saw some Christmas presents. I thought it was too much of a coincidence that it was the same stuff that Santa left for me. I might have been 5 or 6.

[Night_Descends]

I never believed in it in the first place. Always knew they were fairytales :D

[Elena_Stewart]

Smart boy…

[Night_Descends]

Haha :D

[MemeSupreme]

could not tell you but not even sure i ever did believe in him

[Nikki1989]

I had that figured out by the time I was 5 or so. We never celebrated that crap anyway.

[euniestars]

bru I’ve seen a Mexican and Dominican Santa 😭

[Elena_Stewart]

They are fake…lmao..

[TheSpaceGnome]

2, I was told about santa and immediately thought it was made up and started asking how and why until I confirmed it was nonsense.

[Samantha_17]

I didn't know he actually lived in Turkey :)

[Jennz6]

I was 5-6 years old and I saw my dad dressed as Santa 🎅 and I thought that he made it up

[Static_In_The_Attic]

WTF Santa isn’t real?

[Elena_Stewart]

Yeah…finally the truth is here…lmao

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Thanks for raining on my parade & now the real mystery is who has been eating my cookies.

[Elena_Stewart]

👀👀

[Lucidquestions]

I was 10 I think. But I have always encouraged belief in Santa, I think he represents a lot of good

[Dargil]

He isn't? Damn!

[Elena_Stewart]

I am in shock…. lmao..
