I can’t remember. My daughter found out in grade one when she asked for the truth. I figure if your old enough to ask for the truth then you should get it. She thought that was cool, she then knew for sure who to be nice to.
I never believed.
At least I can’t ever remember believing.
I suspected it because my Mom said he came from the chimney, and our chimney just went into the furnace. I actually did investigate to see if there was anyway he could get out of the furnace, and he couldn’t. Then I asked my Mom how it was possible, and she made up something far-fetched. Then, I knew he was fake.
Actually it was a lot harder to prove the Easter bunny was fake than Santa.

I don’t know WHY but I picture your mom and dad as elderly Vaders.
I’m watching Revenge of the Sith right now, and it’s suddenly funny.
Santa and my mom had the same handwriting, as well. We still get gifts from “Santa,” and I’m really not sure why. The parents give us the cool stuff. Santa gives us stuff like nuclear winter trail mix and toothbrush heads.[/quote]
This is why I knew Santa wasn’t real…the handwriting. So even when my daughter was as young as 3, I hid all my presents at work and made someone there write out the gift tags.
It worked so well that I had to tell her when she was 8 because she didn’t believe the kids in school. She was really bummed out and I felt like a heel. You can’t win for anything these days.
I think lying to your kid/s that the santa clause is real is messed up,… sure you might mean well but what does that teach them?

That they will be lied to and fucked in the ass by the Man their whole lives so they might as well get used to it?
My older brother and I wanted to catch Santa putting the presents under the tree. So we rigged a tripwire from the trunk to the sofa leg, so the noise from Santa hitting the floor would wake us up, and we’d get the Polaroid shot of the big man himself.
Imagine my surprize to wake up to my father cursing like a motherfucker, with the tree knocked over on top of him. I got a good beating for that one.
Huh? No Santa?
I can use the milk, but what the fuck am I going to do with all these cookies?
I watched my Mom buy a lighter for my Dad… and on Christmas morning it was in his stocking;) She tried to tell me Santa just comes for kids… so she had to get stuff for my Dad. I knew that wasn’t true… and I remember actually being mad at my parents for lying to me for all those years. I think I was 7 or 8.
I remember one particular Christmas when I still believed Santa brought the presents:
“The best part about gifts from Santa is that they’re all FREE!”
When I figured it all out a year or two later I felt like retard for saying that, and my mom never lets me forget it.

LOLOL #%^@^#$%@% Santa is gona beat your ass with his reindeer whip!
I was told when I was three or four and when I was like 2ish but I cant remember that time.I was a little disappointed because I thought my parents wouldnt let us make cookies anymore lol.When I was like thirteen they started having us write lists… but they were senile at this point and didnt read the labels on anything they bought, the colors of the box was the important thing so I insisted I come or I lied and said you can only buy it online (they dont use the computer) the worst part is the gift from santa… Id ask for something expensive and they would take the difference between the money they spent and the thing I wanted and buy me a mystery gift which was usually more than disappointing.This is going to be the worst Christmas ever though! Turned 18 recently and me and my twin bro are the only ones besides a 4 year old cousin who were still getting gifts from everyone and now ill get one gift playing some gay christmas game like Yankee exchange

An old white guy wouldn’t dare fly around with gifts in the hood I lived in at the time. We all knew there wasn’t a Santa Clause.
I was walking home from school one day in elementary school. Someone told me. I didn’t care to believe it, but over the next couple years I figured it out. Somewhere in that time period, I had convinced my parents I wanted my own xmas tree in my room and they bought me a small little live bush thing.
Christmas morning I had a new watch under my personal tree. My parents also gave me a picture of santa entering my room.
My mom just gave me the picture a few months ago, I dont know where it had been for the last decade and a half. I used to ask who it was, she would never tell me, and my dad took the answer to the grave. I am sure mom will do the same.
My mom and I while I was in highschol and when my dad was still alive, found it was more fun to just pretend santa exists, and roll with it. Why be bah humbug.
