I doubt we'll be able to keep the secret much beyond this year, though. When did you guys drop the bomb, or did you just wait for them to find out through their friends? My daughter is 8 and she's still a believer. IDK, it just makes it more fun having that magic around the house this time of year.

Wait, all I'm getting from this is you felt really good throwing a 7 year old under the bus because as a child he was having a tough time understanding the complexities around what telling other the truth about Santa might do?
I'd get it if it was the parent who was telling your kid, not their place and they should know better, but really you were annoyed with a 7 year old for not being able to process all the consequences for their actions?
