How old were you when you discovered the truth?

Seems appropriate



That last verse always gets me every time.

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

This poll is full of fail. There needs to be older options. 9?

Add 10, 11, 12+.

I was about 6 years old, we were driving up to my grandparents farm for Christmas, and I went out to the car and saw the presents in the trunk. The next day, they were given to me from "Santa" and that's the day when I stopped trusting what other people told me...

Catholics are a bit more lenient on certain things, where other denominations of Christianity are more clear cut on whats right and wrong.

You must have known different Catholics that I have. :dunno:

I was 11. In reality, I pretty much knew before that but refused to believe he wasn't real.

I was 7 and another kid at school told me.

I learned Santa wasn't real from this fucking Christain school I went to at age 5, in Kindergarten. Teacher was a bitch about it too. Guess this is one of many things that let to my hatred of religion.

Interesting. So sad to hear about your father's drug use. I AM a person offaith though, and I do believe in heaven & hell and being a kind Christtian that is good to thers. Chould have swore in your thread that I read you were to to a degress. But very interesting about your father. I'm most certianly glad that Faith like mine helped him clean-up form his addictions.

You're a Christian and you're on a porn board? Sinner!:nono:

I was about 4 or 5 I think. Actually I am not so certain I ever believed in him but seeing store Santas that were obviously not Santa pointed to the fact he had copycats or wasn't real. Also the fact I seen my aunts and later heard my mother was gone shopping for gifts which were later supposedly delivered by Santa was a big red flag.

I'm open to many things yet a sceptic by nature as well I believe.

I feel bad for y'all who learned of it like at age 5, 6, or 7.
