5 if I believed at all. I was old even as a teen ager.

You didn't believe in Santa because you were bored of such kiddy stuff?

@Alex1610: I've felt for my entire life that people aren't all that honest unless they are making it a point to be honest. "Who is doing something" and "what are they doing really" are two questions I keep in mind.

One of my earliest memories was of a children's party thrown by my friend's dad. He was an amateur magician and his son helped out on some of the tricks. I was chosen to be the audience volunteer and saw how a couple of them were done.

"Magic presents" meant a magician did a trick. The only question then was where were they hidden.

Most folks aren't aware of their own deceptions and there's some folks who are essentially never honest - I find the later very hard to deal with.
