How long have you believed in Santa?

  My parents never believed in Santa Claus, but I still did.
  
  Though I stopped believing at the age of 4-5 when he never came down the chimney to give me presents. Q_Q

  I grew up Jewish, so I never really believed in him. Only celebrated Christmas as a kid cuz my mom wanted to give us extra presents.

  Since I was 7. The next Christmas,though,I saw my parents putting the presents under the tree. I heard footsteps going into the living room,so I opened my door a bit and my parents had the lamp on putting boxes everywhere. Now they just put the presents under the tree in broad daylight like they don't care anymore.

  I stopped believing in Santa when I was about 7-8 and I found this play kitchen accessories that I wanted under my mothers bed. Come Christmas time when it said "from Santa" I kinda knew he wasn't real.

  Methinks I believed in Santa up to somewhere around 4th grade, maybe? I really don't remember. It wasn't a big deal at all when I "found out."
  Must've been a gradual thing for me since I don't remember.

  Believed in him until I was about 6, when my parents told me that Santa didn't get the presents, but my parents bought them. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO RUIN MY CHILDHOOD?!

  Santa is real though. Don't believe the lies of people trying to deny his existence with science. They only want to keep a larger portion of the toys to themselves!
  
  The reason Santa doesn't appear to some people is because they lack faith. Non-believers often ask questions that question the existence of Santa but they can all be easily refuted.
  
  "How can the sleigh carry enough toys for everyone in the world?" The sleigh is magical. It has the ability to do this intrinsically.
  
  "How does Santa get into houses and apartments that don't have chimneys?" Santa can make chimneys appear.
  
  "How does Santa get down the chimney if there's a fire in the fireplace? Santa has a special flame-resistant suit, and it cleans itself too.
  
  "Why doesn't the security system detect Santa?" Santa is invisible to security systems.
  
  "How can Santa travel fast enough to visit every child in one night?" Santa is timeless.
  
  "How can Santa know whether every child has been bad or good?" Santa is omniscient.
  
  "Why are the toys distributed so unevenly? Why does Santa deliver more toys to rich kids, even if they are bad, than he ever gives to poor kids?" There is no way for us to understand the mysteries of Santa because we are mere mortals, but Santa has his reasons. For example, perhaps poor children would be unable to handle a flood of expensive electronic toys. How would they afford the batteries? So Santa spares them this burden.

  I used to believe in Santa Claus until I was around sixth or seventh grade, I wrote him a letter on Christmas eve's day, and it disappeared the next morning but several weeks later, I found the same letter I wrote in my dad's drawer, which led me to not believe in Santa Claus anymore. :U

  I believed it until I turned 6. I realized that there was so no such thing as Santa not because someone told me or explained how he couldn't actually go down chimneys. I felt like I grew up so much, that day.
  
  I still love Christmas as a holiday ever since I knew Santa didn't exist.

  I never believed in Santa, same way with the Tooth Fairy, God, and any other mythological being.
