Is there any pressing reason why you need to tell them? Is there any reason you can't wait for them to figure it out themselves?

I'd be interested to know if there's any age differences across countries too. My kid (in England) knew at age 7 that something was up, and had fully worked it out at 8.

Xmas is a lot more fun now he knows.

Thanks! Actually, no there isn't a pressing reason. I figured it out as a child myself, so perhaps it's less of an issue than I anticipated. Have an awesome Christmas!
