We asked NAHS students, "How long did you believe in Santa, and how did you find out he wasn't real?"

"I believed in Santa until I was 11 or 12. The whole thing was an accident. I went to find wrapping paper, and the last place I looked was the storage closet, and there were all of my gifts. I was suspicious through the years. How can Santa and my mom have the same handwriting?"

"I believed in Santa until I was 11 years old. I figured out he was not real because how can someone eat so many cookies? Then, my dad told me he wasn’t real."

"Wait, what? Santa isn’t real? I thought he was real!! NO NO! This can’t be. My mommy and daddy told me he was real!! If Santa isn’t real then who eats the cookies? Santa! Santa is real."
