How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa Claus?

3 yrs old.  I asked my dad if I could go down the chimney and he said I was too big.  I asked how Santa could fit, and when he sort of paused, I guessed.  Yeah, I know it's weird being that young.  Sometimes there's such a thing as being too intuitive.  LOL

One year on Christmas eve when I was about 6 or 7, I woke up in the middle of the night and looked outside and saw a red light flying in the sky, and i was so excited because i thought it was Rudolph's nose. my dad played along when i woke him up, even though he knew it was just an airplane.\n\nmy sister usually left the cookies and milk for santa out, then one Christmas me and my brothers wondered why people always left food for santa, but nothing for his reindeer, so we put some carrots beside the cookies and wrote a note to Santa telling him the carrots were for the reindeer. we woke up the next morning and the cookies and carrots were eaten, and "santa" left us a thank you note.\n\ngreat times. I miss christmas as a little kid. It really gets different as you get older. It's still my favorite time of the year, but it changes. I've learned to appreciate the meaning of it even more as i've grown. I think that's probably true with most people\n\nMerry Christmas, everyone

How sacreligious you are!!! The bunny and Santa are make believe. God is real and true and He is my Heavenly Father. I hope you come to know Him and trust one day.

The idea of Santa Claus developed from stories about a real person named Saint Nicholas. Historians know little for certain about him. He was probably born in Patara, in what is now Turkey. When he was 19 years old, Nicholas became a priest. He later served as bishop of Myra, near Patara. He died during the A.D. 300's

Used to work for a charity that regularly sent kids to Lapland.  \n\nHaving regularly had to deal with the elves in his press office, I can assure any children reading this that Santa is very definitely real.

I absolutely believe in Santa Claus.\n\nThere may not be a man in a red velvet suit living with elves at the North Pole, but Santa Claus is very, very real.\n\nI see Santa Claus in innumerable acts of kindness this time of year.  The "Coats for Kids" drive.  The "Toys for Tots".  The free turkeys for needy families.\n\nI see Santa Claus on crowded streets when one driver gives up a space for another.  When someone drops a few extra quarters in the "Take-a-Penny; Leave-a-Penny" cup.  When a stranger offers the extra $10 so someone else doesn't have to go hungry.\n\nI see Santa Claus on the sidewalks and in schools and in offices when people who don't know each other hold open doors with a wish of "Happy Holidays".\n\nI see Santa Claus in the joy-filled eyes of children on Christmas morning.  I see Santa Claus in the tears of their parents.\n\nIn these and many, many other selfless acts of remarkable and unexpected kindness, I see Santa Claus.\n\nYes, Santa Claus is very, very real.  If only he visited more often....

I used to.  But then, one day, I was speaking with one and we were discussing our goals in life.  He said "I just don't believe in you any more".  My feelings were hurt, so I decided not to believe in him, either.

I'm going to have my daughter keep believing until she figures it out on her own, and if she wants to continue to believe that's fine as well.\n\nPS. She is 8 years old.

Yes. Santa is real, if you believe in him! I think the world would be a much better place if people quit trying to destroy other peoples' happy illusions.

After all the guests have left on Christmas Eve, My Nanny and I would decorate sugar cookies for Santa. Now I am 22, and we still do it the same way every year. I am moving out of the city this summer, so this will be my last Christmas with the whole family. I do not think that Christmas will be the same without that tradition. We also wake up at 6:30 every year when it is still dark and plug in the Christmas tree when opening our gifts on Christmas day.

Santa died from a heart-bypass surgery, which he needed to have from all the cookies he had eaten.\n\n;_;

I don't know how unique it is....but my older kids are really (I mean REALLY starting to question how real Santa is) And I have two younger kids that still believe in Santa and will for sometime.\n\nFor the last few years we put flour down in front of the fireplace. And we let the kids do this.  When they are asleep we get one of my husbands boots and make BOOT tracks or Santa tracks to the Christmas tree. \n\nIt does make a little mess but the vaccum cleaner, get it right up.\n\nMy kids are ALWAYS amazed at it!  But it is our tradition and one that will be carried out for at least 8 more years.

i was born an atheist (without belief in god(s) as everyone is, taught Catholicism (Christianity with saints), and then born again atheist for 20 years.\n\nbelievers are born without belief also, but they are taught to believe in one form or another, usually starting at early childhood.\n\nit's hard to shake the effects of brainwashing when it starts so young. some, like myself, are lucky to break free of the superstition.
