It's About Christmas
How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa Claus, and how did that come about?
I was five. I realize that is a bit early, but there was always a mountain of presents under our tree, and just about every tag was in my mother's handwriting. (even some presents that were from Dad). I had to wonder about that. Also the illusion was never pushed in our house.

I was also 5. We had some older neighbor boys that thought it was funny to tell me and my sister just to be mean.
even though I didn't believe in Santa anymore, deep down I didn't want show my parents that I didn't believe just in case, you know

My sisters told me when I was 5 years old - I think.... My DD teaches 4th & 5th grade, she is not sure each year who still believes and who does not, so she has to walk on eggshells each year because she does not want to be the one that bursts the bubble. One of her students was a little girl adopted from China that had a melt down when she found out she couldn't be president because she wasn't born here. My DD didn't realize her student had that dream.

When I was ten I received a beautiful "lady doll" and two excellent teddy bears for Christmas, so I knew there was a Santa for sure because my parents could not have afforded to buy all that for me I don't remember for sure but I think my mom told me after that. I was a little old! I must have heard some rumblings around school before that since I had that specific thought.
