What age is it actually weird for kids to still believe in Santa??

Just saw a Facebook post were a friend said her son was so excited looking in the skies for him. I'm sure he's about 12 now and I did think that's weird and felt sorry for him, then questioned myself and wondered when is the age it becomes weird. What age do you think it is?

When would you say? I think around 8 but know I'll probably get slated for that.... Definitely before secondary school though.

Hereabouts

Most kids find out in their own time. My youngest step sister is 7 and still believes in Santa, but she knows he isn't real. She chooses to believe because she likes the magic of it. If her mum had no money for presents this year, she would have said something along the lines of knowing Santa isn't real so it's ok, but just because she knows the truth it doesn't mean she can't belive in something else.

I was 6 when my dad told me Santa wasn't real. He had lost his job and lost his house so he was staying with a friend. He explained to me that Santa was very real, and that Christmas is magical and that I should never let that magic die but this year it was going to be difficult to get many presents. He had me tell my little sister (4 at the time) that Santa had lots more children to give presents to this year so we had to share a present. She said 'that's ok, Sammi, I don't mind sharing a present with you, it wouldn't be very nice to have to share with Aoife!' (Some kid from school). I have never forgotten the way that she just accepted it.

I'll always believe in Santa, no matter what.

(And that, ladies and gentlemen is the human being behind the bah humbug!!)

Why on earth would it be weird. Preserve their childhood for as long as you can as it's a wonderful thing. When they are ready they will ask questions which can be answered honestly.

They will grow up fast enough in time.

Yes, well before secondary. My son's just turned 13 - lol if I caught him looking out the window for Santa I'd be extremely worried. I reckon 6/7yrs of age is roughly the 'norm'. Especially nowadays. Kids are so savvy in general

Away with the fairies (Liverpool to you)

I think people should believe for as long as they want to.....I have an ongoing argument with my 10 year old niece about fairies and Loch Ness monster real or not real and we have to agree to disagree but a little magic is good for you so believe in what you want to and don't let anyone tell you any different

I think my mum stopped putting out milk and biscuits for him when I was about 4

I think I only ever mentioned father Christmas once to my son because I thought it was wrong to lie to him.

some people don't want their kids to grow up.

I would say before secondary school, let's be honest kids aren't very nice and if an innocent 12 year old still believes in farther Christmas it's more than likely they will get bullied or at least ridiculed for it

Totally agree. Although I am somebody that lives Xmas and love hearing all the stories and how magic shouldn't die. I do wish it was always magical but kids are cruel and they will tease others if they still believed. I don't ever remember believing but its never ruined the magic for me. I think with the vast differences between what people spend on their kids these days it seems "right" (can't think of an appropriate word) that the story is adjusted for modern times so kids don't think they've been bad coz they haven't received as much as their friend. Ie Santa just delivers or he has a catalogue for parents to order from lmao

12 is about the age you would expect boys to start believing they will get into the knickers of playboy centrefolds instead of thinking about santa.

Arse End of the Universe, Cumbria

My niece is just turned 9 and believes; I saw a mate today and she reckons this year will be the last for her daughter who's 10...personally, I realised when I was 6 or 7 . as I was bursting for the loo, but had to wait til Santa came so was still awake (and pretending like mad to be asleep) when my dad came in with our pressies...I kept up the pretence cos I had younger siblings and I've never confessed to my folk that I found out that early. I wonder if some kids do realise earlier but keep the secret for younger siblings (or even not to ruin it for their parents)

I think after age 10/11, they'd say anything to convince you that they still believe in Santa, it's just to get the xtra gifts!!!

You were a good kid. That reminded me of the advert a couple of years ago where the boy couldn't wait till xmas so he could give his parents a present.

here and there, thereabouts

Is Santa the day man that breaks in and empties his sack, or like God, is he just an entity of sorts? I say that as someone who is not religious, of any particular faith or anything like that. In which case there is nothing to not believe in.

We told ours the first Christmas they were in secondary school. Most of the other parents around here did the same. If that makes us weird then so be it.
