I think I was around that age. It think has a lot to do with your social group and whether you’re religious. If your friends believe you are likely to as well. We all stopped believing in the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny a couple years before Santa. I remember sitting around the lunch table at junior high and the kids would be like, “Nah, I stopped believing in those along time ago. But Santa is different. He’s definitely real.” Santa has religious ties to St. Nicholas and such, which the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy don’t. Growing up in a Catholic school, Santa just seemed more legit almost like a religious figure.
IIN That I believed in Santa Claus until I was 11 years old?
