Did you believe in Santa as a child, even for a short while?

Yep, believed until I was about 5. My siblings and I decided to not tell mum that Santa didn't exist because it might upset her because she so obviously believed

Weird if she lied? I’d say sad she couldn’t let a very young child have a bit of Christmas magic.

And yes I believed, and no I don’t hold it against my mum for lying to me 😂

Well, the vast majority will be yes. I did, for ages. Most families do Santa. I didn’t with my own kids but it’s a tiny minority

I never did believe. I asked my mum outright at a very young age if it was real and my mum said no (I am glad she did it would be weird if she had lied). I think a lot of children maybe can tell their parents want them to believe so they pretend.
