Does Your DC believe in Santa?
How old are they?
If they don't believe when did they stop? Do you think they stopped believing before they 'admitted' that they knew that Santa didn't actually come and drop off toys?
Robbie 'officially' stopped believing last year (at 8).. but he was skeptical for at least 2 years before that! Noah is 7 and still believes firmly!

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
3.5 and 5 - both believe
The 5 yo is starting to ask some logistical questions about Santa and how he knows stuff or how he gets into our house without a fireplace.

We don't have a fireplace either, we have a Santa Key ornament that we hang on the back door before they go to bed on Christmas Eve and they think he comes in that way. If you google Santa Key a bunch of poems come up.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
All yes!!
5, 7, & 9
I was worried about the 9 yr old finding out at school but after talking to her friends parents, none of them doubt it yet. I know my time is short with this, but I want her to enjoy it and not spoil it for her.
She still believes in the tooth fairy and easter bunny too ;) but doubts the EB but not Santa!!

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
DD 7, not anymore she's just way too smart, haha. She's been asking questions since she was 5 and unfortunately she has also heard from others in school that he isn't real.
Last year was torture trying to pretend Santa was coming, she was up all night, she had anxiety over it, no one slept Christmas Eve. DH and I thought it was all ridiculous what we were putting ourselves through LOL, so we told her this year. DD 5 does not question or anything so I say Santa is coming, and DD 7 knows not to ruin it for anyone else.
I think for those kids that question it, in a way they still want to believe because it's fun.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
DS is 10 and stopped believing last year. He was actually happy that the cat was out of the bag because he likes helping and keeping the magic alive for his little sisters.

Cool thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into it.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
Mine all still believe (8, 6 & 4)
I'm not sure if someone at school with older silblings and/or a mean streak with burst the bubble this year. My SIL use to say to her kids "You gotta believe to receive" esp when her older ones stopped believing but the younger ones still did. No bursting the bubble for the siblings allowed.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
My boys are 10, 9 and 8 and they all still believe!! This will be the last year for my 10 year-old though because he starts middle school next year.
My daughter believed until she was 10.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
DD is 5 & she still believes. I'm tearing up now because this thread made me realize I may not have so many years of that left 
DS is 19 months & really couldn't care less about the whole thing

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
DD#1 is 9(almost 10) and still believes
DD#2 is 2 1/2 and obviously believes
DD#1 knows that some kids do not believe. This kids on the bus 2 years ago told her that there is no santa and your parents buy the gifts . I told her that if you do not believe then Santa does not bring you anything and your parents have to buy you some gifts. However, if you believe, Santa brings your gifts and waaaaay more then your parents could afford SO.... She believes! LOL

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
Genevieve just turned 5 and still believes. But she sees DH buy a lot of presents when we go away, and the reasoning is that Santa is so busy, so Daddy helps out and sends the presents to the elves to get wrapped and then Santa brings them back on Christmas Eve 
Billy is almost 4 and still believes without question.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
Last Christmas she was 10 years old and she believed. I really didn't think she did but she definitely still believed. This summer, still being 10, she figured it out.
I'm happy that she knows now. It makes things a little easier for me.

Re: Does Your DC believe in Santa?
I have to add that I am shocked that my 8 yr old believes honestly. Between all the ads and how obvious it is that the stuff isn't "made by elves in a workshop" when it has shrink wrap, KWIM?
