When there were multiple Santas at various malls when were Christmas shopping. One of them was black and two others were Asian. <_<. Yeah, okay.

I didn't need anyone to explain it to me. Of course, I kept it to myself all those years because in my mind, I thought that if I confessed, then I'd get less presents.

I went into pre-K disillusioned! D: I wasn't even 5 yet.

I never really believed in him, not like other kids did. I just thought maybe he was a thing, maybe he wasn't. My parents didn't push the whole santa thing very much as they were hyper religious and felt that santa took away from the religious aspect of the holiday.

I don't remember ever believing in the first place. Probably my older sisters spoiled it. My parents were foreign and didn't really have the concept of Santa Claus anyway.

Never really believed. Growing up about 4 I remember the neighbor like 4 houses up on the other side of the road would do a santas sleigh thing where he would dress up and go around the neighborhood. I recognized him and his truck. I asked my parents if that was the real Santa, they said yes, so I never really believed.

I don't think I ever really believed myself.
In fact the celebration of Christmas, in my family, started with cousins and the children of my parents myself included.
Before it was a multi week break from school.

When I was 7 I was snooping and found some presents still unwrapped. I received one of them "from santa". I didn't want to get in trouble for snooping so I didn't say anything but I put two and two together and figured it out.

I knew as far back as I can remember. To quote myself at four or five when my aunt asked me why I thought santa wasn't real,

"If Santa was real, he'd stop my dad from beating me."

I think I was about 6 or 7, I caught a glimpse of a Super Shredder action figure in the trunk of the car after shopping; later when that gift was addressed from Santa, that was the tell. To their credit, my parents did a good job keeping me believing for that long.

What really bugged me later was watching the Santa Clause and getting this notion that some people stopped believing in Santa simply because they didn't get the exact gift they asked for. To me that was just a super spoiled-rotten mentality. Is that really a thing, or just something the movie fabricated?

As a grown adult with my own kids, I can tell you Santa is indeed real. That he doesn't exist is a myth perpetuated by the toy industry in order to get parents to buy toys instead of utilizing Santa's cheap elf labor. Every Christmas eve I go to bed, and when I wake up the next morning there's a pile of neatly wrapped presents, and they sure as hell weren't from me.

Continually asking my mom while we were in a Blockbusters parking lot. I was probably around 8-10 years old *sigh*

What pissed me off the most was that my much younger cousin already knew about it. Like wtf mom
