How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa?  |
|
I was quite young when I stopped believing in Santa. My sister was 6 years old and her 8 year old friend told her that Santa wa a lie and it was the parents who bought the gifts for us kids.
She was in tears and ran to our mother who thought it was better to tell her the truth as she'd already been told. Unfortunately little 4 year old me overheard the conversation.
How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa? Who told you? Were you upset?

2. anotherxidentity (1000) | 2 months ago | I was around 11 or so. For some reason at that point I started to question everything that my parents had told me and decided it was my quest on finding out whether or not things were rationally right or wrong. At the time it probably wasn't what I was telling myself but it helped me figure out that I didn't believe in Santa and it helped me decide that I wasn't going to be socialized by my parents to believe in religion, and other societal beliefs like whether or not other races are bad, if homosexuals are bad, what our economy needs to be etc. My parents never did anything to make me not believe, but in my mind I just didn't see how it was possible and it was more possible that they were lying just like they lied about where babies came from.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | I guess that's an age when we start questionning things. When we wonder how things can be we start understanding that some things are just not real.

|
taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | That was certainly a give away! But at least you got the pressies!
| |
|
|
Downwindz (388) | 2 months ago | Exactly.... Im though confident about the fact my parents thought i would allready be asleep when they hang up the present, but like every other child i wanted to see Santa with my own eyes...

5. CelticSoulSister (518) | 2 months ago | I think I was about 6 or 7 when I stopped believing. I can remember saying to my parents that I thought he didn't exist, and they confirmed it. I wasn't upset, as I suspected it anyway.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | I think that's the best way to find out - you were ready for it.

6. edxcast (497) | 2 months ago | Never believe on santa, its didnt go accord the way my parents raised me. Santa doesnt represent what CHRISTmas is. The name itself says it, Christmas is about the birth of Christ. And nobody never had to tell me, they just needed to confirm my suspects of what i was thinking.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | No, christmas isn't about Santa Clause and gifts, but for a lot of people it is part of their childhoo.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | Right - not believing any more doesn't mean not being able to enjoy the illusion.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | I think it is different if you grow up with it. You believe everything. When you were already a bit older when you where told about Santa it is less 'logical' that it is true.

9. CRSunrise (1741) | 2 months ago | I'm not sure I ever quit believing in the subject of Santa. I know that Santa isn't a real, skin and bones, type of person. However, I believe in the spirit of Santa...the spirit of kindness, and so on. I'm not sure if this really answers your question, but this is how I feel.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | The spirit of santa. You're right - maybe Santa represents more than gifts, but also happiness and kindness. Nice thought.

10. LiveLove (347) | 2 months ago | I was probably about 12 so i had some time to still believe. My big brother told me the truth and showed me the evidence. My parents didn't tell me the truth initially but when I showed that I could see through their dishonesty (lots of questions but not good enough answers) then they told me the truth. Good thing I don't celebrate Christmas anymore.

taraelocin (223) | 2 months ago | I still celebrate Christmas - maybe not in the traditional church or religious way, but as a time to enjoy with the family, to be peaceful and stressfree.
