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)

Our oldest once genuinely forgot that he knew that it was us. It was eerie.

By now they all know what's going on and it's not a problem.

I can't remember being shocked as a kid. But I always loved our family's way of placing our presents under the christmas tree in the weeks leading up to christmas eve. Felt much better than some magical angel bringing the presents.
