whatchu talkin bout Santa not being real

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

Not sure -- but I do remember asking my Dad if Santa was real and he asked back, "Do you really want to know?"

I thought it over and walked away without pushing for an answer to my question.

Bananaxx · 31-35

@ChipmunkErnie did you really want to know though?

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

@Bananaxx No. When I thought it over I began to wonder if the answer was "No" would the gifts under the tree cease -- so I decided ignorance was best.

Beautywithin · 36-40, F

8, My dad had been out drinking the night before and forgot to put out our presents I woke up xmas morning said dad santas not been, he said stay in your rooms, he had to make a quick dash up the loft.

SW-User

I was watching David Letterman with my mom and dad. It must have been a VCR recording.

Howie Mandell was talking about how he found out santa wasn't real.... I turned to my mom whose eyes were huge.

Bananaxx · 31-35

@SW-User did you cry?

SW-User

@Bananaxx Nah...

Starchild1983 · 41-45, F

I don’t remember how old I was but I remember the moment I realized… my mother has a very distinct handwriting and one year I realized that the names on all the gifts were in her handwriting lol

SW-User

I must have been about 8 when I just put it together naturally with no surprises spoiled. No big deal. Felt good realising it by myself actually.

8 seems to be the age, right? Something just clicks.

VampireOfDesire · 26-30, M

Funny

VampireOfDesire · 26-30, M

@Bananaxx if i ever gave you a naughty toy it would be me

QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F

I wasn’t very old, but old enough to read. I found a gift all wrapped up in the basement that had a tag on it that said “From: Santa”.

Bananaxx · 31-35

@QueenOfTheNerds awww did santa had a good hand writting?

QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F

@Bananaxx Santa had Mom’s handwriting. Lol.

SW-User

My mum told me about a week before Christmas that Santa wasn’t real when I was going on about how excited I was for him to come. I was about 8

Bananaxx · 31-35

@SW-User awww :(

ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F

I was 7 and snuck out of bed. Saw mom wrapping the presents from Santa. I was fine with it, though. My childhood wasn’t ruined. 😄

Bananaxx · 31-35

@ChampagneOnIce best mom ever!

AuRevoir · 36-40, M

4 or 5.. my dad didn’t want credit going to a fat guy in a suit anymore when he worked hard to get us those things..

Bananaxx · 31-35

@AuRevoir your dad sounds awesome!

AlyAngel · F

5 I think, my brother was born when I was 4 and I was in foster care at 7, so sometime between 5&6

UnderLockDown · M

I never believed in Santa or the Easter Bunny, or the tooth fairy.

Bananaxx · 31-35

@UnderLockDown nooo 😢

UnderLockDown · M

@Bananaxx They tried, but as far back as I can remember I used to lay in bed and wonder why they went to all the trouble of fibbing about it. I learned to read at 3 years, so it's not like it could have lasted any great length of time anyway. I would have found out sooner rather than later.
I knew better than to tell my older sister too, I was well aware that I would have gotten in trouble. I never really felt as if I missed out on anything.🤷‍♂️

TristanRaven · 18-21, M

Jeeez , he is real! I can't say he's not, my little sister would be horrified!😂 :P

Bananaxx · 31-35

@TristanRaven keep it that way!

Thinkerbell · 41-45, F

About the same age when I learned about the gross things that people do with their genitals together. 😧

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

Saw my neighbor wheeling my new bike to our house late one Xmas eve when I was 8 I believe .

Pretzel · 61-69, M

around the same age. wasn't a big deal - it didn't make a lot of sense anyway

GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M

We never had Santa so I was spared that childhood trauma 😂

comfi1 · 61-69, M

Can you prove what you say?🤨

Bananaxx · 31-35

@comfi1 i can't...

SW-User

I never believed he was real.

SW-User

@SW-User You'd probably Krav Maga his ass with a fountain pen anyway. Probably best he ain't. 😊

badminton · 61-69, MVIP

Santa is real! I just know it!

Bananaxx · 31-35

@badminton santa, is that you?

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

Seven… actually more around six

SW-User

I was very young, our neighbour came unannounced, drunk out of his mind dressed as Santa in the middle of the night. My mom had to explain to me and my sister, who were hiding under the kitchen table in fear, that Santa wasn't real
