I can't remember.
My grandson is 10 and we still blag him but not for much longer...he is on to it.
My 6yr old granddaughter is a true believer.
We have footprint and snow flake stencils to use as Santa's . We will leave trail from the door to the tree. Tell them the snow is magic snow, that's why it hasn't melted. Kids are cute and I know they'll ask.  |

I was about 8 . But was sworn to secrecy, reason being my eldest nephew was 5 years younger than me  .
To explain. My brother was 18 years older than me and sister 12 years older than me.  . My mother referred to me as the mistake. I have three nephews and one niece within 10 years of my age .  |

I don't remember but I do remember my youngest daughter sitting me down and asking me if he was real. I fessed up and I'm glad I did as even years later she remembered me being honest and it built trust that because very vital as she grew up. |

Wow that really is quite an age gap ... your must have been so surprised. Hopefully. If you weren't really made to feel like a mistake!
My youngest wasn't planned and I used to tell a take about how he was conceived until one day he overheard. I never said it after that for fear he'd feel bad about it, if he again over heard it. |

To be honest at first did feel bad. Then realised I was loved as much or actually more than my brother and sister. Sadly my sister passed away aged 32. My brother and I were actually very close . Both had same hobbies . Fishing , darts. Although younger I , organised trips to France carp fishing. Both played darts in local top leagues .
I am still in contact with all my nephews and niece |

That's the thing for me .... knowing, feeling that you are loved. Sometimes parents don't realise the impact if what they say.
Sorry to see if the loss of your sister.
I lost mine, she was 42 x |

And I believed in father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Till I woke with a yawn
In the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise |
