Writer's Block: Santa Claus is coming to town

I think around seven or eight. I know I definitely didn't believe anymore by the age of nine; I remember my best friend's mother taking me aside and asking me not to discuss Santa around her children. She was very nice about it and I stopped immediately.

I was seven. I liked to read the Sesame Street parents' magazine that came with my sister's Sesame Street magazine, and the former had an article about telling your kids about Santa. My parents told me not to read it but, knowing me, probably figured I would give into temptation eventually (I had a habit of illicitly borrowing the parenting books from the shelves in my mom's closet), and told me themselves.
