How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa?

I was 6 and I figured it out on my own. My mom was pretty obvious with her coverups so it was easy to figure out.
Yesterday my older sister told me that she was 14 when she figured it out...my goodness! How is that possible?

What?! Santa isn't real? But... he's my friend on Twitter.

My family never made me believe in Santa, so when I started school, I was shocked that everyone else thought he was real:)

I don't think I ever believed in Santa. I don't remember being told of him at home and well, living in an apartment building with a fake fireplace....
need I say more?

I wonder what i would tell my children...I kind of feel like pretending he's real is lying...

I don't know. I guess I kind of always knew, but part of me, even today, still wants to believe in Santa. Even if he isn't a single person. It's the thought, the idea, the whole thing Santa stands for that I want/need to believe in.

amytreasures, the fireplace thing, exactly...maybe my mom wanted me to think that he came in through the air vents.
