I was around hmmm....eight when I stopped believing in Santa....when I was younger I "knew" that there was only one Santa and all the others--prancin' around in the malls where just his "helpers" LOL....Besides my mom always threatened "if you stop believing, you stop receiving".
I think that the whole Santa thing was not only for us kids back then but also for the parents too.
I stopped beleiving b/c when I set cookies & milk out for Santa & woke up the next morning Santa had written me a letter thanking me BUT it was in my father's handwriting. >=( But even after that I pretended I still believed for at least 3 more years after that until my mom figured I was just fakin....
Still I don't know how my parents (especially moms) pulled it off. Yeah...I'll never forget nothing would be set up except a few decorations and the tree when I would go to sleep but when I woke up on Christmas morning...it was EXACTLY like that little girl in the "i didn't give him cookies...I left him CHEESE" LOL
