About my reaction when I figured out.

I was sitting on the arm of the couch, and I said "dad is santa and the tooth fairy and the easter bunny real" and he just said "no". doesn't even soften the blow, sugarcoat it, lie, anything. Just "no".

I don't remember my age. probably 7ish.

I didn't even know about these guys when I was a kid. When I found out about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy I felt completely gypped.

I was never told. I just gradually stopped believing LZ71

Pretty much this. Each year I got more and more skeptical and then when I was 10 or something I had it completely figured out.

they denied it...and still do to this day. :lol:t3hrubikscube

We still joke about it in my family to this day. I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but I came home after hearing that Santa Claus wasn't real on the playground. My dad took me and my sister, and instantly dashed all of our childhood hopes in one conversation. He killed off everything. The Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, Santa, all gone in one swift blow :P

I grew up a Jehovah's WItness (The HORROR!!) so I was told since day one that Santa was bull. It was fun telling the other kids at school that they were being lied too.GrindingAxe

Watching the Gremlins as a child, this scene pretty much ruined my child-hood to some extent.

It was on Christmas when I was about 7. I was going through my presents that morning and noticed that the "From: Santa" and "From: Mom and Dad" Stickers were in the same handwriting and had the same border trim. I didn't say anything at the time, but I knew.

When I was young my parents had a set of World Book Encyclopedias that were like from the 60's. I had flipped through those things cover-to-cover as far back as I can remember, and I was always aware of the page on Santa. It started out: Santa Claus is a fictional character who...

So yeah, I've known as far back as I can clearly remember.

i stopped believing in santa when i was like 8 years old. my parents when christmas shopping and accidently left the receipt of what they brought on the table in the living room, from that christmas on i knew there was no santa

You know, as far I can remember, I NEVER believed in Santa Clause. Whenever the elders told me about Santa Clause, all I ever thought was how full of **** they were and I knew all along who brought the presents... I guess I grasped a sense of reality at a very young age, when I was about four actually. Consequently I was a very pessimistic child, but I don't regret a moment of it. I still liked toys and video games and what not. I was just realistic...
