Out youngest is 11 and still believes. You may think it’s bad he still does but he’s autistic and has a different view on a lot of things and so hard to sway. In time he will change his opinion. |

All my children are young adults but because my eldest is severely disabled he still believes in santa. It’s lovely to still have the magic and I take him to see santa through our local round table group who are great at a 6ft 5 lad wanting to speak to santa x  |

My daughter believes in the magic of Father Christmas. She’s 10. She also knows that grown ups who keep the magic in their hearts help make Christmas special and one day she will also help her kids.
That’s the way I was told it by my parents.

I still believe in Father Christmas .
If others can believe in an omnipresent being . Why can't I believe in some one who spreads love and joy . Even if he is. Concept we should all embrace .
Give not receive and care for all our children in the world |

"actually,,,,,why do we lie to children"
To make their childhood magical. Adulthood sucks big time. Let them have their innocent years. I think back at mine and feel glad that my parents let me have my innocent years. |

You could ask the same question about religion, never proven that there was ever a god, but children are led to believe....... |

We have done the shoe box appeals. I'm a little sceptical about the goods getting to the children who need them. |

It's also a good way to threaten them when they misbehave. "Santa's watching, to make sure you're a good girl" |

I volunteer through my work to help with a Xmas party we throw every year for underprivileged kids in Hull. The firm does a shoe box appeal and Santa comes to the party to give them out. I asked one year why they are told not to open their boxes as I thought it seemed a bit hard and apparently it’s because for some of them, it’s all they get so they save them for Christmas Day where possible. One lad last year was so excited because he had 3 bows on his box bless him. |

Ours are almost into double figures age wise.
They either still believe or they’ve worked out that if they let on to dad they have concerns he’ll be heartbroken |

My children are of varying ages, but I have no idea if the eldest two still beieve but the youngest one does. The eldest have never alluded to not believing and we are happy to keep the magic going for as long as possible.
I remember a few years back hearing someone say they had to tell their child before they went into the juniors that there was no such thing as Father Christmas so they didn't get picked on at school. I thought that was quite sad.

We’ve just watched miracle on 34th street and I miss having kids that believe, mine stopped believing a long time ago (well the youngest of my three only a couple of years ago) and Ads has an 9 and 10 year old who doesn’t believe anymore (Ads has never really done the Father Christmas thing or if he did he hasn’t done it for years), I wasn’t sure when I was out shopping with them on my own a few weeks back if they believed or not so played it safe, they looked at me like I was mental!
I miss it and Christmas doesn’t really have that magic anymore, moreso since me and their father split up and this year is my first Christmas without seeing my boys so that’s going to be strange. I get to see my residents though and I know I’ll brighten their day up!

Give it another year - she’s still so young. I think we do it more for us than them sometimes xx
Santa stopped visiting here 2 years ago & the magic went too.

Well we’re all big kids at heart, I’ve grown a beard this year and it matches my white hair.... so I’m tempted to don a Santa outfit on Christmas Eve and take presents to the young kids in our street |

Mine don’t believe, in fact my youngest who’s 8 actually asked me if he was real, I offered him a sugar coated answer or the truth. He chose the truth! My eldest hasn’t believed for ages but hasn’t wanted to say. |

Thank you
I did think she’s a little young still but I’m just so excited for her to be excited. My 11 year stopped believing about 3 years ago and it made me so sad Christmas want the same after that can’t wait to get it back now with the little two xx |

My small human is nearly 6 and very much still in the magical believing stage... and i shall do all i can to make that last for as long as possible... this world has so many awful realities that his generation will need to navigate (and hopefully thwart) that i want him to enjoy the beautiful innocence that the magic of christmas brings while he can... and when i read his letter to Santa and saw that along with the gigantic lego set he had asked for he had also asked for "the hungry children to have some hot food and a glass of squash" i might have had a bit of an eye leak moment! |

Have two kids (13&12) who no longer believe and two kids (4&7) who still do. The best thing about it is watching the older ones trying to make it a really special time for the little ones, writing letters to Father Christmas with them, etc, counting down the days till Xmas day, crossing out how many sleeps left.... it’s really made our count down till Christmas Day really magical this year |

I have one who still does, and one who doesn't but won't really let on. They have written out their lists and bless them they've barely asked for anything except to have a lovely happy time and a little gift for the dogs as they can't write their own list.
We always do the shoebox appeal through the school too. Hate to think there isn't just a little bit of magic for any child at Christmas  |
