and decided that it would be quite impossible for one person to deliver all those gifts in one night. I'm not even sure that UPS or FedEx could do it.

9. A psychology professor once told me |
|
that kids figure out there's no Santa at about the same time that they figure out that two water vessels of different shapes do not contain the same amount of liquid despite being filled to the same level.
So if you're wondering about what your kid believes, fill a juice glass and a pint glass to the same level and ask the child which contains more. If s/he says they're the same, the con's still on. ;)

10. As soon as you are old enough to need an explanation for the |
|
multiple Santas at the different department stores, you start to get suspicious.
That graphic is evil! :rofl:

16. He kept wanting me to join his army of the living dead. |
|
OK, maybe it wasn't Santa, it's been a long time.
(Would explain his mysterious powers, though, now that I think of it.)

17. My dad told me the truth |
|
We were at my brother's Cub Scout meeting, and the Santa there was wearing a cheap, red plastic suit. I said to my dad, "santa doesn't wear a stupid suit like that". My dad let it slide for the moment, then later during the meeting he pointed a a guy sitting alone in the back row of the auditorium and said "See that guy, that's Santa".
I was in about 3rd grade, and obviously already had some doubts.

18. I chose "did the math," but |
|
in reality, it was just something I sort of...realized one year. Nothing dramatic or traumatic; I just remember talking to my father one Christmas Eve, and he said to me, "You know there's no Santa Claus, right?" and I said, "Right," because I had already figured it out. No big deal.
He did ask me not to tell my younger sister, and I didn't. She figured it out for herself a couple of years later.

19. I had my doubts but its kinda fun to believe |
|
We always did the Christmas thing on Christmas eve- dad would take us out for hot chocolate, and mom would stay home and take a bath. But Santa always came when mom was taking a bath. A little suspicious!

21. I still believe in Santa... |
|
that's the only way to explain Christmas around here without plastic. The rest of the year, I live paycheck to paycheck.
That Santa needs a vacation in the Bahamas...
Come to think of it, so do I....

22. I was in 4th grade... |
|
It was after Xmas, and even though my parents hadn't taken me to see Santa that Xmas, I still got most of the presents on my list...so I figured it out. I was disappointed, but not traumatized. From there I figured out the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc had to be the same. Though Xmas was alot more fun when I believed in Santa...

:P I figured it out when I was 8. I asked my parents if I could help them with Santa stuff the next time around, and I had great fun getting stocking stuffers for my younger sister and brother. My sister asked me the following year, and I told her. She wasn't surprised. However, my brother believed in Santa until he was about 12. :P

He lost the primary, however, when his fundie nutjob opponent accused him in a debate of "playing Santa Claus with the taxpayers' money". :evilgrin:
