I think this is the last year my 9-year old will believe. She's already suggested that I've bought everything this year but is still going along with the traditions.

When did yours stop believing in Santa?

The day I decided to install CCTV on my bunkbed was the day I truly stopped believing.

Reeeeeeally late. They stayed on that maybe he is real so long thinking if I admit I don’t believe maybe all the magic won’t happen.

I still wait until they're asleep before I sneak the presents into their stockings. And none of them ever ask for anything. It is still suprise gifts from Santa in our house

My son is 9 and he still believes. Maybe. I think he's just doing it for me now. This is definitely his last year though.

Mine stopped in the last year of Primary, mainly because of friends etc spilling the beans!

I still pretend our dogs go shopping for the gifts from them. For my own amusement mostly!

I think this is the last year for my 9 year old as she seems to not be as invested.

Tonight, when my wife got in a strop, threw the presents around, shouted “make sure you put the f*****g stockings in their rooms” and stormed off to bed….

Apparently it was my fault that one of the presents needed re-wrapping… who knew?

Anyway… yes - he’s 10 - so we’ve had a good run, and there’s still plenty of fun to be had as they get a bit bigger - it’s just a bit different.

Our children are 16, 17 and 25.

Today we decided to put the presents under the tree this afternoon instead of doing it tonight.

We've had a polite "telling off" from them all because Santa doesn't come until tonight so how are there presents under the tree already.

Next year we have to go back to how we've always done it, sneaking them under the tree when they are all in bed.

We are quite flattered though that they've obviously loved how we've played Santa for all these years

"I was still getting a present under the tree from Father Christmas when I was 22. 🥰"

I still believe in Father Christmas, after all, I was him for many years while my daughter was growing up. And I was married to the Tooth Fairy.

Father Christmas is the spirit of the season, and he lives in the hearts send through the actions of all the parents and carers who dutifully and lovingly wrap and place presents for the little people in their lives.

Long live Santa.

💕🎅
