When did you find out Santa Clause wasn't real?

When I was 7 I would stay up all night to catch Santa Clause in the act, then I saw my parents putting all the presents by the tree. It shattered my world forever…

My uncle always wore santa clause costume to visit us and my brother two years older than me shouted that he can see his ear under the mask!

I worked it out pretty young, probably 7. I kept it a secret until my younger sister told me she thought it was our parents, too. We had a talk about it and decided we would never let on to our parents just in case that would make the presents stop, lol.

In seriousness, my parents were putting an addition on my house when I was 9 or 10 and when I asked my Dad for something for Christmas he said “I hear Santa’s putting an addition on the North Pole this year, he might not be able to afford to buy as many gifts for you kids this year” and I went to the other room and started crying. Ruined it for me.

A year before that my friend on the bus was like “SANTA ISN’T REAL DUDE” and the bus driver was like “SHUT UP KEITH, SANTA"S REAL”, and I believed it for another year. But was questioning it for a while until my Dad said that I stopped believing completely

Also, our climate has a generally bad influence on Santa.

I think I was roughly 7. My brother kept telling me he wasn’t real for a long time. My mom would always say he’s lying. One day she finally said he wasn’t real. Kind of messed up now that I think about it :rage:

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that one

The Easter bunny pisses me off.
The whole, " Oh, I’m a little bunny, aren’t I cute", just gets under my skin.

I never believed in it in the first place. My father was big on logic and reasoning, and I thusly had no Tooth Fairy, Santa, nor Easter Bunny. I was that a$$hole kid in school that was destroying people’s ideas.

One of my little girls lost her tooth on Christmas Eve…

So when they woke up X-Mas morning, my wife had put her lipstick on some of the half-eaten cookies that we left out for Santa. The girls thought the Tooth Fairy and Santa had a cookie and milk party together.

:slight_smile:

(Okay! Group ‘Awwwww’ coming up!! )
