How old were you when you discovered Santa was a fake?

[Cobraboy]

I figured it out after a while becuase I knew that our chimney had a small diameter, had a funnel on the top and the open window my parents left open for 'him' was just too small to fit some fat guy down.

Although I think my parents enjoyed the milk and biscuits and the carrots for the reindeer though.

My case as well. I don't think I ever believed in that 'jolly old fatso'.
I did believe for awhile in the tooth fairy though.

No one ever told me but I kinda figured it out. One year I just stopped believing. I never like found my mom stashing presents or anything like that. I think the reason that started my disbelief was one year I noticed "you know, we don't have a chimney. How is Santa gonna get in?!?". Then I think I just said he must not be real.

My parents told me he had a magic key to get in - which isn't half a bad idea

Can't remember the age when I found out, but I wasn't annoyed at it.

It was actually my father who told me Santa wasn't real, when i was 7. We went to the mall a few days before Christmas, and sure enough, Santa was there, with a line-up of kids. We waited a long ass time before i got to sit on his lap and blabber a few gift ideas. We went to another mall, and, you guessed it, another Santa. My father was telling me how quick Santa was to travel from mall to mall, almost as quickly as he was to travel from house to house and my reply went a bit like this: "But what about the other kids that were waiting in line at the other mall? Did Santa leave them to come see the kids here?" And the magic ended.

I just grew up knowing there was no Santa. Just figured it out on my own i suppose.

Fat man stuffing his ass down my chimney every year for a few measily cookies... that just didn't compute.

Lego is a company, legos are the actually bricks and pieces. Even Lego says legos when they mean more than one piece. I know this, 'cause I still get the magazine.

umm, they avoid using Lego as a Noun; it's always used as an adjective in their magazines, catalogs, and on the website. Trust me, I once visited their Enfield, CT office and asked about 625 different questions about the Lego Products (including what the little bumps on the top were called; to which the people I asked shrugged).
Oh yeah, the on-topic part of this post; My 14-year-old cousin still believes Santa is real (I mean literally, she tries to trap him in the living room each year; it has me slightly worried)

Justifiably so.

Some families don't do Santa because it's "dishonest" . To me that's sad. Little kids shouldn't have to be that serious.

I know, if they found out you lead to them they will never trust you again and fall into a pit of dispair and kill themselves.

 

[Silverzone]

I got lego stuff. been to busy to use them lately.

 

[Attila_Da_Hun]

I made a lego thread, no more posting bout legos here

Sage will have you balls in stew for saying that. The "s" at the end of lego.

Which one?

The one in Billund, Denmark is a fabulous place. I went there in 1984.

The one in Windsor, England sucks and everything costs 20x as much as it ought. They almost built it just outside my home town though - in which case it would have been brilliant. But they didn't. So it isn't. So there.

 

[[Jetstorm]-R]

hmmm.. yup.. and nope.. BLAH!

I hated Santa cause I wrote him a letter and he gave me not the toy I wanted

 

[the_cobbinator]

I found out around 9. I guess it all just came together, especially when I realized that the same exact wrapping paper that was on Santa's gifts were in my mom and dad's closet...

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

I never belived in santa and neither will my kids. I always found it quite funny in grade school to see kids write to santa...santa being the 6th graders who wrote back...santa was just the fat guy at the mall, nothing special.

Legendary stuff

Heck, the noise annoyed me when I looked for one in particular. But it was all good fun. 👍
I always liked the little sets best, especially cars.

 

[Jeff I.]

That was an awsome noise that they made, how could you get annoyed by it?

I can remember going there in 1993 or something.

They wouldn't let me drive the Lego cars! 👎 Instead I went on the Lego airplane ride. 👍

That's probably because they remembered me driving them in 1984...

Did you pan for "gold"?
