Isabelle Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 What age did everyone stop believing in santa? Or your children? I personally can't remember actually ever believing, i knew it was my mum. I'm curious because my OH's son still believes, he is 8 now, and very mature and clever for his age, so i think it won't be long before he starts to question it.

Vaati Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was about 8 when I found out. Only because I went to the toilet and saw my dad taking the presents upstairs XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I was around 7 or 8 when I worked it out. ---------- Post added 07-10-2015 at 18:58 ---------- What age did everyone stop believing in santa?

If he is bright he will have already worked it out but goes along with the pretense for fear of not getting any presents. My son told me this when he finally admitted that he knew Father Christmas was make believe. Edited October 7, 2015 by Daven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenoside123 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think about 8/9 is probably the max you're going to get out of kids. My little boy has just turned 9 and as far as I know (I hope anyway) he still believes. I think this is the last year we'll get out of him though, if indeed at all as other kids will no doubt blab when they find out! I think a lot of it depends on how you 'do' Christmas for your little ones. I've always gone to town for mine as I absolutely love it so that helps keep the magic alive. We do the PNP every year for him, the footsteps, the, Santa tracker, half eaten mince pie/carrots for the reindeer etc. And we have every explanation going for any doubt he may have! I'll be gutted when he finds out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnailyBoy Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah, I know. I just can't do it though! After this year, I promise! You might find his friends will do it for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
