What age..

[scottish]

will you tell your children that Santa is not real?

[Ms.Aquamarine]

Neverrr haha. They'll find out themselves when they're older. :)

[Absently]

I don't think I will, children seem to naturally find out through school and stuff. That's how I found out anyway.

[Martin]

I think there's just a certain time in a child's life when they work it out themselves really, through their peers and stuff normally. I don't think I could ever just directly tell them that he's not real haha, want them to believe forever! :O

[Phil]

Same as everyone else, I'm sure they'll figure it out themselves long before I need to tell them :P

[Kyle]

i wont tell them he exists in the first place

[MKR&*42]

i dont want children

+ if i had them i wouldnt even say santa claus was real, if they asked id just say believe what you want or something like that.

[Matt]

I don't want kids.

I remember the day I was told he wasn't real. I will never forget that day, my whole perspective on life changed :(

I don't want children, but if I did I'd do exactly the same as the above quotes.

[Gina]

yeh id just let them figure it out themselves
let them believe n be jhappy lmao would rather people at school be the ones to wreck it rather than me

[Futz]

I really don't know

[Empired]

No need to tell them. They'll work it out on their own and if they come and ask me I'll just say "well what do you think?" and they can decide for themselves.

[SandraDunca]

Now a days children are very intelligent, once they grow little they themself know about the reality of Santa Clause.

[Jssy]

Well my auntie is a Christian and always told her kids from a young age that Santa wasn't real, and Christmas was a celebration of Christ. I wouldn't tell them about Santa I don't think but obviously I want Christmas to be magic so if they believe then they believe, however I will take them to church and highlight that the importance of Christmas is all about family, not presents

[Red]

If they haven't found out themselves then before they go to secondary school!

[Chris]

I would leave them to find out themselves. I would want that magic to last as long as possible.

[IzzyUhh]

send off a letter to santa that will get 'posted' by my mum the next day
recieve a letter back within hours of posting!! in my dads handwriting!!

Omg howling so hard.

Mine was similar I found my letter on top of the fridge.

[Zak]

I figured it out when I realised it wasn't physically possible to visit that many homes in the time available.

[A]

I would not tell them, I would let them naturally find out but of course if they still believe in him after the age of like 16 then clearly something would need to be said.

[Hannah]

Personally I wouldn't make out presents to be from Santa. I wouldn't give them the belief that there is a Santa, or that he is real.
As soon as they were old enough to understand I'd explain that it is just a lie which seems to make Santa seem like someone who has favourites with the most expensive toys while others are stuck with little - and that they can feel free to tell all the children at their school that Santa is actually their parents.

I don't really want kids, though.

[Richie]

I was devastated when I found, genuinely gutted, wanted to cry after the argument but my wife showed me comfort.


i don't think i will but then again all jokes aside it is heartbreaking

[Gina]

I wouldn't actually do it paha - ruining Christmas isn't really one of my fortes.
Though children find out and ruin it for other children all of the time as soon as they find out, whether you tell them to or not. :rolleyes:

[Nick]
