The romes are true? What about the Sicilys?
I believe I was about nine or ten. I kind of had a hunch, but it was still a little sad anyway.

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:39pmMy parents tried to tell me there was no Santa when I was really little so I would focus on the true meaning of Christmas. It didn't work. I believed 'til I was 8 or 9.

Well, it started with finding out about the Tooth Fairy, and the rest just came out. I was around 9 or 10. I cried.

I actually found out when I was in either first or second grade. My brother and I was snooping for our Chirstmas gifts (like we always did) and we found them. We remembered what it was and then on Christmas day, if the name tag said it was from Santa, then I would know Santa didn't exsist. And just as I thought, the game that I found the week before said it was from Santa.
In third grade, my parents actually sat me down and told me Santa didn't exsist. They really said that the spirit of Santa still exsist. haha it was useless because I already knew.

Posted: 12/17/04 at 10:10pm6. I figured it out myself. I one day said "Mom, there's no santa, tooth fairy, or easter bunny." And she just looked at me and said "Wow, so now you know."
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

There was a Babysitter's Club book where Claudia thinks back to the time where she found out that her Mom was actually the tooth fairy... it was very troubling for me at the time. It was such an innocent July day, I had taken a break from my mourning lounging around time to read a chapter of my newly acquired BSC book... and then BAM!
Of course, I was probably eight... so there you go.

Posted: 12/17/04 at 10:40pmI LOVED the Babysitters Club books. It was all I read for a long time. Then my parents started bribing me to read other things...

Posted: 12/17/04 at 10:45pmThe exact same thing happened to me that happened to Chinkie! My mom told me not to say anthing about there not being a Santa though, because she didn't want my little sister to hear.
Ways to annoy people:
Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. Then eat raw potatoes.
Ask people what gender they are,or
Disagree strongly with everything anybody says:)

I was in third grade and the class bully told me that there was no Santa. (I still remember his name, too!) I ran home to Mom, and we had a little talk...but she made me promise not to tell my younger sister or cousins. So, for the next 10 years or so I kept a very special secret 
And found a stocking filled with lots of treats every Christmas morning.

I had a hunch from a very young age--and i was quite the detective! my friend and i got our parents to sign "Santa" so we could compare the signatures. Later, after I had discovered the truth (around age 12ish?), my mom told me that my dad used to take the gift tags to his students (he's a professor) and get them to fill them out so I couldn't trace the handwriting. eventually they started printing them off the computer. i was sneaky, but they were sneakier!!!
My brother, who is now 15, still hasn't officially stopped believing. I think that if he admits that he knows (which of course he does), we'll stop getting those presents and the magic will just sort of...die. so the whole family keeps up the farce with a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor about it. it's fun!

Hm I guess 9 or 10. I felt bad though, because my younger sister found out as well, and I think my parents intended to keep the act up for a couple more years. Oh well. She turned out okay
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...

Posted: 12/18/04 at 12:26amI was like 8 I think. I found the presents in the closet. And then when I was at work with my mother I went in her desk drawer for a pen and found my "Dear SantA" letter in there.

i started seriously doubting around age seven. my little brother was four. i was convinced that the idea of santa claus was a conspiracy set up by the adults in the world. oh, i was quite the little doubting thomas.... until i met mr. claus in the flesh.
i lived in a small beachside community and my father owned a tackle and dive shop. on a certain steamy morning in the middle of august, my father called home and asked to speak to me. he said that someone had come to the shop looking to buy some tackle.... he was on vacation with the missus. my father had asked him to come over for supper later that evening. dad said that this was a very important guest who wanted especially to speak with my brother and i. i was to clean up our rooms and to neatly dress my favorite doll (santa had brought her the previous christmas.)
as i look at the photo right now, i can tell you that our visitor wore khaki trousers and a pale green button down.
he was a right jolly old elf!
he walked in that evening and addressed me by name. he told me how proud he was that i was doing well in school. he inspected my doll and approved of how well she was kept. he knew things that had happened between my brother and i that my parents were unaware of. he knew of a certain incident at school. i pulled his white beard. i asked a lot of questions.
he told me that he sometimes sends gifts ahead to the parents so that his sleigh would be easier to manage. he said that the santas in the malls were employed by him... and that they reported back what the children wanted. he said that he had special "elves" that masqueraded as people so they could check up on children without being suspected.
i believed in santa for several more years after that. and i still "believe" today. my idea of santa claus is much different than it was when i was small.... but he exists.
santa claus is a tangible belief in the impossible.
