I'm surprised so many people were "dissapointed when I found out". For me it was just a gradual realization, as my brain developed I started to look at the world more logically, and thus eventually figured it out for myself.
I can't say for sure when I really stopped believing in Santa Clause; I sorta held the belief for a few years just for the fun of it. I offically declared him not real at 11 or 12, but I think I had my "denial"(lol) period starting at 8.


As for the whole story, I see no harm in it. I remember when we had this same argument in my 11th grade English class; our teacher was saying she didn't feel it was right to "lie to her kids". But really, I never looked at my parents one day and said "Oh how could you do it!? How could you lie to me!?!?". As soon as I realized he didn't exist I knew it was just for fun.


I mean damn, I wish I could still believe in Santa! Christmas was the most magical time of my life as a kid, when the world became this magical, peaceful, happy place. Like the best kind of shroom trip, but frankly better!

If you don't have kids yet, do you plan on telling your children about Santa Claus? If your children are already grown, did they believe in Santa?
