CRIMBO SURVEY: When did you stop believing in Santa?

[Not Meowth]

I don't rightly remember myself. I seem to recall saying I believed in him as late as being 9/10, but I think I might have been kidding.

 

[octobr]

Wha... what?

 

[opaltiger]

I don't know. My family dropped all pretences when I was around... eight?

 

[Almost Eric]

I don't really remember, I just stopped. *shrug*

 

[Sir Lucario]

I think I stopped at around 6 or 7.

 

[RainbowRayquaza]

Around 3. My granny apparently wanted me to believe, but my parents didn't like lying and I had two older brothers just eager to spoil everything for me.

 

[cheesecake]

Around when I was 9 or 10, when I realized how illogical it is.

 

[Silversnow]

I don't think I ever really believed. My parents weren't real fond of Santa.

Unicorns had more of my interest anyway.

 

[ZimD]

7-8.

 

[Ice tiger]

hmm 7 or 8 I believe, parents keep trying to tell me he is real for some reason, i'm 15 damnit, santa makes no sense, and if he is real he is a Pedophile, he watches children while they sleep! and breaks into your house, not to mention that he eats all your cookies D:

 

[Noctowl]

I don't remember. ;_;

 

[Flora]

My sis told me...just last year. And I told her she was lying. ^^;

 

[Tailsy]

I was about seven.

I was an insomniac as a child! I couldn't help it!

 

[nastypass]

I /haven't/ stopped you ignorant asses

...
; ;

 

[Worst Username Ever]

I think six or seven for me.

 

[Doctor Jimmy]

I was a bit older when I stopped believing...

I wonder why parents tell their children about Santa in the first place. Won't they just discover it was a lie later on in life? What kind of parents would lie purposefully to their children?

I believe it's so Christmas is more "magical" for their children, and possibly to give them an incentive to behave themselves so as not to appear on the infamous "naughty list".

That, and the whole fact that you have to act a completely different way in regards to small children than you do to other human beings, which I happen to hate.

 

[Crazy Linoone]

I never believed in Santa. I mean, a fat old man who gives out presents to good children comes down your chimney (which we don't have) at night and leaves presents?

To be fair many small children lack such logic. :3

I'm going to tell my children these stories replaced with unicorns becuse that would be hilarious.

Yes, my sons are all going to end up gay and my daughters will end up being neurotic about one-horned horses stalking them every Christmas, but eh!
