When my daughter asked me point blank if Santa was real, I told her yes he was, but that he gets help from Mom & Dad. It broke my heart when she cried. She was about 8 years old. I don't have a memory of finding that out when I was a kid, but I do remember when I recognized the guy playing Santa at the church program. He was a guy who came out to our farm occasionally. We didn't go anywhere specifically to see Santa Claus, he was always at the church Christmas program. He handed out a little brown sack of peanuts and an apple, maybe a little candy.
On Christmas morning when I was little, things appeared under the tree that were not wrapped. Those were the gifts Santa had brought for us during the night. Santa also filled our stockings with a few small things. That was the way it happened for my daughter too. Santa works that way.
