When do you or will you tell your children Santa (and other holiday propaganda) isn't real?

Never. My mom still hasn't told me.

Murdock, if that's true, can you please put Adam Levine in a box and leave him under my tree this year? Don't forget to poke some holes!

Sorry vintage.. I've been requesting that gift for a few years. Murdock always let's me down.

Lol Catherine! She's probably hogging him ?

Sparkling, he's my celeb crush for sure!

Murdock placed him under my tree last year.

After he sang and danced for me, I sent him out to go fetch cookies and milk.

When I was four I found out... I told everyone in the entire neighborhood and I lived in a family condo complex.... Just in my building alone there was 6 kids.... Needless to say my mom got a lot of angry parents at her front door. Sorry mom.

My mom never told me lol I just figured it out

I won't. They'll have to find out on their own like I did.

I've decided to tell them I don't believe in Santa but leave one mystery gift for each and act like we don't know where it came from.

My oldest straight up asked at 5 and I was honest.

My dh doesn't want to even mention Santa to our kids. I could understand why..the whole lying to them and all that, but I always thought it was just harmless fun. I cried when my mom told me he wasn't real haha

No need to tell them they not real if you don't create the perspective of them being real in the first place. My parents never told us these things were real or not and we never got gifts at Christmas saying love Santa. They always said love mom and dad.

I still believe Santa but somehow I'm still trying yonunderstand how he delivers presents to all over London let alone all over the world in one night!

It rattles my brain. Also, what if the house has not a chimney like mine. How does he get in? I don't get it.

Anyone who doesn't believe in Santa is automatically in the illuminati.

We have always been honest with our kids. They have never believed in Santa, the Easter bunny, tooth fairy etc. We concentrate on the true Christian meaning of the holidays and leave out the commercialism. There is a cute veggie tales movie about who St Nicolas was and my kids know that is who Santa was based after. In saying that, I don't necessarily think it's wrong to do Santa, we just choose not to. Our kids also know that most kids believe that stuff is real and that they aren't supposed to tell other kids any different

My mom still hasn't told me, but hey I'm not complaining I still get gifts from Santa lol

You don't believe you don't receive!!!!

I was in kindergarten when I found out because I'm one of the youngest grandkids. All my

Older cousins told me. I thought I was cool and told my entire Class for my show and tell. Well my

Mom had a conference with teacher. I am not robbing my children of their childhood!!!! I'm pretty sure my 10 year old doesn't believe but never mentioned to me. But we have our saying

You don't believe you don't receive. And Santa only brings them 1-2 gifts. Santa doesn't buy all gifts. Because my kids know there are others who don't get much of anything for Xmas. So I can't explain why Santa brought them tons of things. So we stick to simple stuff from Santa!

I will tell her when she asks. It is about the spirit of Christmas. And the movie yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus is a classic to watch.

I'm 38 and don't you dare say Santa isn't real!

He leaves me presents every year. The card saying love from Santa tells me so!

Never. I'm almost 24 and my parents refuse to acknowledge ge isn't real. Even though I have to Santa shop for my kids....lol. but pretty much growing up they said only kids who believe in Santa get Santa presents. Those were the best presents!! I wasn't going to jepordize that.

My 8 year old asked me cuz some girls in her school were saying Santa wasn't real so I told her....I felt bad for them, everybody has to believe in the magic of Christmas , that's how Santa is created by believing in the magic that Christmas brings us ... I never told her Santa wasn't real nor I told her that he existed.... Only if she believes in Christmas Magic then she would receive presents .... She buys it!!!

I figured out on my own. My kids did too. They still play along. It's fun. Plus if you say you don't believe in Santa, he won't leave you a present. ?

I was 11! Haha I already knew but my mom came in and was like I think you should know santa isn't real...I was like yeah I know..then she got all mad and demonic was like WHO TOLD YOUUUU lol

We have never actually told our kids he is real. We say it's fun to pretend _____ real huh!?

This goes for Easter bunny, Disney princesses at Disney world, Santa, ect.

For holidays we keep the religious aspects as the number one thing. We talk of Jesus on Christmas and Easter.

My ds is 3 & we never told him about Santa. I mean he knows about Santa but we celebrate Christmas as a family he's never been the kid to believe Santa brought him presents. Grateful for that he knows mommy & daddy work hard to make it special & my baby is smart & extremely grateful.

I let them figure it out all on there own. Even though my oldest 2 know he isn't real they will still play along for their sister who is 3.
