I think the most bizarre/fun stories were from the people who found out but, for various reasons, didn't reveal that they knew.

I was one of those! I thought that if my parents found out that I knew, it meant that I wouldn't get as many presents anymore.

I was an only child. I'm not sure I could have kept it up for as long if I'd had siblings asking lots of questions.

Not at all! My mom actually had her Christmas ruined when she was around 5 years old when her older sister told her that there was no Santa, and she was always terrified of somehow doing the same thing to me. So when she finally told me, she was being as gentle as possible, expecting me to be heartbroken...and then my reaction was kind of an "aw, man, the jig is up."
