I learned an important life's lesson when I learned Santa wasn't real. I don't remember what age exactly I was, but I remember the event like it was yesterday
I helped my mom wrap gifts for christmas and after she laid them all out and put the tags on them I was looking around and noticed one that I recognized I had wrapped, but the tag said "To: Bill", "From: Santa". Both my parents were in the room and I asked my mom, "why'd you say this was from Santa when it was from you?"
My mom burst into tears and started freaking out because she "let the cat out of the bag" so to speak." My dad got pissed at me for upsetting her and kept saying "c'mon now, you certainly knew by this point santa wasn't real??"
I'm thinking "well no, not really, but i seriously don't care that much."
I don't think it'll bother your kids in least when they find out, regardless of how they find out...but remember, if you think it's starting to upset them - act twice as upset about them finding out and they'll be more concerned about you then you ever were about them.
It's great relationship advice too. If you do something that pisses off your significant other, act like your twice as disappointed in yourself as she is in you. She'll go from yelling at you to trying to make you feel better.
