How did you take it when you finally learnt what's really going on with Santa? Or, if you're a parent, how did your kids handle the big reveal? (piefed.social)

I recall asking if Santa was real and a sibling told me, bluntly, he was dead.

For some reason this made a lot of sense to me so I figured the holiday was honoring some old traditional of a red coated man who delivered presents. I figured the 'lie' about Santa being real was a part of that too.
