I found out there was no Santa after my parents accidentally taped themselves putting the gifts under the tree. They accidentally left the video camera from when they were recording our (as in my brother and me) anticipation.
There was nothing they could say after that to convince me otherwise.

I always sort of knew but played into it for the fun of it, I still enjoy the holiday season and the 'let's not be a big dick to random people' spirit it inspires.
But for the most part I feel parents should push the idea of Saint Nicholas and Krampus.
Long live Krampus, he beats naughty children!

Was told right off the bat that he doesn't exist.
Still decided to mess around a bit at home one night. Wore suitably fireproof clothing painted red and white, got a likewise fireproof bag containing a good deal of presents (non-fragile/not going to be harmed by heat, all resilient stuff) and went outside. Climbed up the roof (fifteen metres, seriously, Shadow of the Colossus has nothing on old Japanese houses) and jumped down the chimney. Being skinny is rather helpful there, if counterproductive to the general image.
And, yes, arrived in the living room with a cry of "I come bearing gratuitously wrapped material wealth! ALSO I AM ON FIRE HELP."
Okay, so I wasn't actually on fire despite my claims. Walked out and was perfectly fine. That said, it was fun.

Ahh I had nagging feeling he wasn't real since first grade, then a year or two after that I: 1) Saw a Dennis Leary stand up show were he was talking about how stupid kids were for believing in Santa(Or something)2) Stayed up to see if he was right, heard my parents talking. Was disappointed for a while but I keep up the charade for a few years after that and basically told my parents I knew he didn't exist but they still act like he does. Doesn't bother me, still get to spend time with them and get free stuff.
I tripped over some presents when I went to check the time. They were from 'Santa' oh, but what were they doing in my parents room :O. I sort of twigged from there.
My parents always did this whole ridiculously so over the top thing about santa that we never would have believed he was real because my mother thinks it's wrong to lie to children which I completely agree with. a friend of the family said that when she found out santa claus wasn't real she stopped believing in god aswell.
incidently, if Santa worked with time zones, his task wouldn't be AS impossible as it seems, of course, logic still eludes his ability to fly, break into people's houses and know what everyone wants for christmas
as for the topic, my dad was a cheapskate, so we never celebrated christmas on account of us not being religious (load of crap, i know), hence, i never believed in father christmas

I actually don't remember when I found out. I think I was pretty young though. My older brother probably told me.
Finding out Santa doesn't exist is smalltime.
Here's one revelation that will really blow your minds.
Ready?
Kevin Butler isn't real. He's a character made by an ad firm, played by a professional actor.

Santa is a real bastard, the lowest of the low.
Just think about it.
All the rich kids will be getting ALL of the nice stuff while santa thinks to himself, "You know what Fuck Africa."
