      Ack... I suddenly realize that I don't know if my six year old daughter believes in santa or not... I know her brother, age 10, hasn't believed in two or three years...

      I did catch my parents putting out the gifts. I was already suspicious, this just confirmed things. I was six though, old enough to realize that the santa tradition might end if everything was out in the open. I spoke with my older brother and he confirmed that santa goes away when the youngest stops believing and threatened me physically to insure the parents didn't find out. I informed him that no threat was necessary. We had santa for a few more years... I think someone eventually asked if I still believed in santa and I answered, "not for years now." Boom, no more santa gifts. Sigh.
