    When did you stop believing Santa was real?

    When I was 3. My sister is such a bish.

    You were only 3? That is devastating

    Agreeed

    I was around 7 or 8... I found the barbie magic van I had asked for. I was so disappointed. Now I feel a little guilty lying to my son but he deserves to experience that magic... at the same time I hate that I am lying to him. Is that weird?

    Not weird at all. I dread the conversation with my daughter. She is going to NEVER let me forget this, “Oh right. Lying. Yeah. That’s bad, right? You mean LIKE HOW YOU LIED TO ME ALL MY LIFE ABOUT SANTA???”

    I think more about his pure joy and innocence he will one day lose... Santa is just the first of many disappointments... but perhaps then he will pass on the magic to his children one day and he will obviously get over it! .... maybe I'm just being silly.

    I dunno. My cousins and their kids and grandkids have this wonderful way of keeping the spirit alive long after Santa’s been found out. So it can be done.

    Agreed. While it's a time for families to come together, it's really all about the children and being an enjoyable time for all.

    Agreed. Both my kids now know but it's still magical around here. Maybe partly because I go overboard with the decorating, music and passing out of cookie/candy trays. The other part because they know it's not just about the presents.
