Don't think I was ever told really, it's just one of those things that you grow up to realise same as tooth fairy etc

My mum didn't tell me, my primary school teacher did haha. She randomly blurted it out in a lesson just before the end of term one year and it led to lots of questions and I think she got fed up of lieing haha.

I sussed it out when I was around 11 when I noticed my mums handwriting was magically the same as santa's. :P
I never got told by my family. I just grew out of it. I think I really understood when I watched a movie which said it.. :P
like no-one i know irl never got told either, at least you have a little bit of spirit that santa is true cos u never been told
but theres mee with my mum who told me

I found out Santa wasn't real when I was like 10 or something. One of my teeth had fallen out so I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy during the evening, then I went and had a bath. When I got out of the bath I went to check on my tooth but it had been taken and the 'tooth fairy' had already left some money there. I was all like the tooth fairy only comes at night, what is this witchery. Then I realised it must have been my dad and I put two and two together and realised Santa probably isn't real either.

I'm pretty sure that once you get to a certain age there is no spirit at all that santa is 'true' :P
I do however think its nice for the kids and it does add a bit of magic to christmas and he looks good on cards and ting

i dunno, can't remember. so i guess it was pretty early. my mum told me that i told my sister santa wasn't real when she was young though. lol, was a ******** from such a young age:dance:
I don't think I've really ever properly believed in Santa. As far as I can remember I've just asked my Mum what I'm getting for Christmas and not from Santa.
I can remember when I was 10 there was a girl who still believed and we were all like :l awkz Think I must have been around 8? My friends stopped believing and then I went and harassed my mum until she told me the truth. I can remember she still lied to me tho cos I asked her where she hid the presents and she said a big van comes round with them on christmas eve LMFAO

What do you mean Santa's not real?
WhenI was in prep (first year of primary school so I was 6) my friend told me. I went home and told my mum of the awful lies my friend was telling, and my mum told me the truth. I kept on pretetnding though becuase all these adults thought I still believed so I just played along :P But when I was 9 and my mum got ME to rap the presents and write the names of them, well that's when I kinda stopped pretending ;)

When i was like 5 i heard paper crinkling in the living room, i walked out there 2 minutes later nobody was out there, no lie. But i figured it out soon after that when i found presents hiding in my parents closet. I cried :( I believed in him so much at the time, i thought he was the one that brought me my NES along with tetris.

I know I got 'told' that Santa wasn't real when I was 6, because I don't think my parents actually bought me anything that year.

I worked it out at some point around 7/8ish and then I think my older sister told me when she eventually found it out.

Never told but mum still sticks up the sign on the door when she's wrapping presents 'Don't disturb Elves at work!' even though she knows we know, think she enjoys playing along :P
I do remember never understanding why santa and my mum used the same paper aha

I was never told Santa was real, grew up as Santa just being a christmas figure and character.
From as young as i can remember like, 3, presents never had from santa on them

i never said it was???
about 9. Although my auntie is a strict christian and tells her kids that santa isn't real, she'd rather them know the importance of us having gifts like jesus did than tell them a lie
I was told when I was 12 so I already knew. My dad told me in like September and I had to play along and pretend to be sad because if he knew I was pretending to believe when he was buying extra presents he wouldn't be a very happy camper. So yeah, I was pretending to be sad and he said "It's okay, the worst it yet to come, after Christmas we're going to tell you about the Easter Bunny" and walked out.

I'm not sure about you but by the time you reach 13, most people understand the concept that he isn't real.

My Nan was wrapping presents (rip) and she said 'oh just put it from santa it's fine' so we twigged then. She also ruined the tooth fairy for us too.
