My step sister ruined the whole Santa thing for me when I was around 6.

But then I believed anything she would say at that age.

I still believe in the spirit of Santa Claus - even have a nice wood carving over the door at Christmas that says "We believe in Santa" with a St. Nick.

How can you say there is no Santa....All of my kids know that I am Santa!! lol

I don't have the slightest idea how old I was when I found out...It's just been to long ago.

We never actually did Santa at my house. My family (and grandparents, especially) is/are very Christian. I got gifts from the "Holy Spirit" "Baby Jesus" and from my family (hey, I'm not kidding!). I knew they were from my grandparents, labeled that way, of course...but it was just a part of my childhood.

I never missed the Santa experience

Also, no Easter Bunny. We did look for eggs, but we also learned the Easter Story (resurrection of Christ). One year, grandma made a "tomb cake"--a cake shaped like a tomb, with different colored icing for the tomb, the stone (rolled away) and there was green coconut for grass around it

I love my childhood

When I was about 4 I realized that there was no way Santa would use the same crappy wrapping paper my parents used.

Hahaha!! That's why I always hide the special Santa wrapping paper from my kids and only use that for Santa gifts!!!

I can't remember when I stopped believing. I do remember staying up all night with my sis that is about a year younger than me trying to listen out for sleigh bells though. Then we would wake up at 4 in the morning, go sneak a peak under the tree, and then try to wake our parents up at 4am to go open presents. They would pretty much laugh at us and say "Not until 6am". Those were the good old days!! Now it is great to be able to relive the whole Santa thing through my kids!! They get so excited around Christmas, although they won't go anywhere near Santa at the mall (so I am afraid that I am never gonna get those kids with Santa pics ).

i found out from a stinky boy in my second grade class. i asked my mom when i got home and she confirmed that he was correct.

personally, i think santa claus, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy are fairly horrid lies and i do not plan to perform the actions of these made up characters for my kids (when and if i have them). i just find it to be cruel and unnecessary. yes, my children will still get christmas presents, an easter basket and rewards for lost teeth, but those things will come from mom and dad, not a fake character.

I was 6, I found out through older kids at school, when I came back home I asked my mom who told me the truth.

It did not really bother me.
