    4, I deduced it myself.

    My parents had a talk with me because they didn’t want me to ruin it for my sister.

    She also deduced that Santa wasn’t real but faked it for a long time, thinking that she would stop getting extra gifts if she let Herndon-belief known.

      It was like this for me, too. I figured it out when I was six, but got a stern talking to my parents about ruining it for my brothers.
