I believed in Santa until I was ten, even though I pretended I didn't. Then my parents wrapped the little presents for the stocking in the same paper they'd used to wrap the presents under the tree which I'd always known came from them. Sadly I was smart so I realised the truth and there were tears on Christmas morning!
