Santa!!!!
How old were you when you found out St. Nick wasn't real??
I was 7 and I caught my Dad wrapping my present in the kitchen and he then had to explain to me "the concept of Santa" as he called it.
I bring it up cuz my niece (6yrs) asked me the other day and I didn't really know what to say to her, I felt really bad for not being able to explain it to her.

I stopped believing in Santa when he never got me what I really wanted. I was like 6,7,or 8. Plus my parents just straight out and told me he wasn't real without a care. They told me that the real meaning of Christmas isn't about Santa, but the birth of Jesus.

I was 5, and my older brother (10 at the time) told me... for some reason I wasn't upset or anything.
I remember having to keep my mouth shut about santa not being real in school, cause most still thought he was real. 
That went on for years... 
If I was mean when I was a little kid, I could have ruined christmas for a lot of other kids!

Santa?
Well, sad to say but I never got to beleive in Santa. By the time I was able to understand the concept, my dad and uncle told me he wasn't real. Why?, may you ask. Well I found out later it was because my dad didn't like the idea that someone else was getting the credit for his son's(me) happiness. So I never got to beleive in him. But I turned out just fine, really, I swear.

I never believed in santa myself...haha...
I'd be like...If my parents can't get me what i wanted...why the F**K would some next person get it for me (well I wouldn't say F**K)
I dunno...I just never believed in him...wait for maybe one year i did...I remember I wrote him a list. haha but that was it.
On Christmas day...I would be looking forward to presentsa from parents..aunts uncles...etc....but never santa.
I never ruined it for anyone tho.... dunno y....If i look back on it...I thought i would ruin it....but i never did
