When did you find Santa doesn't exist?

[Deleted]

With the summer vacations getting closer and closer, I decided to think of summer related themes, and so I thought, which theme is more related to summer than Christmas? </dry joke>

So here is a random summer related pool, asking you when did you find out that Santa Claus is a lie (like the cake). </dry joke>

So, if you want, answer and then tell your story, if you remember it!

I hope you like talking about Mr. Claws! </dry joke>

EDIT: Ok, it seems ages between 10 and 12 got lost. If you got to know before 11, use the one before, if you got to know with or after 11, use the one after.

I don't remember ever believing in Santa.. If I did, I must have found out before I was 5, because I know I didn't believe in Santa when my parents divorced and I was celebrating 2 Christmases...

Well, in the Netherlands, Santa isn't such a big deal..
We celebrate "Sinterklaas", which is basically the same for kids: presents, family-thing, nice dinner, all that.
But it's about a holy man, Saint Nicholas, who comes from Spain (actually, he's from Turkey, but I'm sticking to the kid-version) and takes his black helpers (/slaves) with him to give everyone the presents. He rides a white horse on the rooftops, checking whether the "Zwarte Pieten" (the helpers) are putting the right presents into the right chimneys, where kids have put their shoes with a carrot or some sugar in it for the horse.

And I found out Sinterklaas isn't real when I was about 10. So ya.

[tehincoreuptable]

what?!

[hey light]

I stopped believing around 5 years old.

That one is seventy-six times more awesome than Santa Claus.

What do you mean "Satan's not real"? Pretending that your problems aren't real won't make them go away.

You people had no childhood! I found out around 8 or 9. I don't remember how, I think something just clicked in my brain and I was like "wait, what the fuck? How can he do all that? hax!" (I'm paraphrasing).

[chelseeyuh]

9? Really? I remember making fun of a girl for still believing in Santa when we were 10 >_> my bad. I figured everyone else knew...

I DID believe in the Easter Bunny, though.. and the Tooth Fairy... Thinking about it, I don't see how I knew Santa wasn't real, but believed in other stuff. Wow, I was a dumb child...

Also, picturing a 9-year-old Zang saying "What the fuck? Hax!" about Santa amuses me greatly XD

Oh, I still "believed" in the tooth fairy till I stopped loosing teeth

Again, I'm paraphrasing.

In Iceland there are 13 equivalents of Santa Claus but they're called Jólasveinar (Yule lads). They are the sons of a troll and a human. They used to come from the mountains one by one starting 13 days before Christmas and terrorize people on the farms. And their mother who was a troll came and and took bad children away and ate them on Christmas eve. They also owned a cat the size of a lion who ate people that didn't celebrate Christmas.

Nowadays tho they all dress like Santa Claus from the Coca Cola commercials and they come one by one and give 13 little gifts to kids who put their shoe on the windowsill starting 13 days before Christmas.

I found out when I was about eleven, although I had always suspected it, I made a sub-conscious decision to not try to figure out if Santa was real or not, because I knew my childhood would be better if Santa was real.

It that weird at all?

I found out when i was 5-7 when at my pre-school or kindergarten the santa i was sitting on had a beard hanging from the bottom of his neck, not his chin
I was disapointed.
