I was convinced he existed for a while. At some point it transitioned from me genuinely believing and me only believing because I didn't think about it. I don't know when this was, but I know it happened because in 5th grade (I think) when my mother asked me asked me whether or not Santa was real, it occurred to me that the correct answer was probably 'no'. I was a bit upset, but only because I had been lied to for all those years. The truth about the tooth fairy was generally revealed one year before that in family. We had never been told that the Easter Bunny was real, though. Mall Santas were explained as being people who reported wish lists to Santa.
