I think this discussion is seasonally appropriate. For those that celebrate Christmas, at what age did you stop believing in Santa? I don't recall how old I was, I just know that I kept pretending to believe long after I had actually stopped!

Wow that is a long time! But I have an 11 year old cousin who still believes, so I know it is possible. His mother is amazed that he still believes, but she is convinced that he really does. We don't know how much longer this is going to carry on!

I don't blame you! At 22 I still get the occasional gift from Santa, but there are always a lot of jokes about it. Thanks for the response!

I think I was around 9. I found the presents in my parents' closet.

Ah, that seems to be a common theme. Parents should come up with better hiding places! Come on, they are supposed to be the smart ones here.
