How to ask my parents this?

Question

I JUST stopped believing in Santa last year and I was 13 (now 14.) I learned about the Easter Bunny by age 10. Honestly, I like to pretend to believe in this, but I want to force myself out anyway. I don't have a choice. But my mom still buys an Easter basket, fills a stocking, and signs some presents as Santa. I don't want to end childhood, but I don't have a choice. I'm not an adult but not a small child! So, I want my parents to act like they're not real (and they aren't,) so any good ideas? Should I just not look in my stocking or Easter basket at Easter and maybe they'll stop? Should I just not open presents from "Santa"? (I only want to force myself to grow up because it's basically the LAW! I'm not kidding!)

Update:

TY and happy holidays!

I'm 32 and I still get presents from Santa. I know it's my mom buying them; the only real difference is that no one leaves out cookies anymore. I often buy my parents presents and sign them from Santa; so does my 29 year old sister. It doesn't matter so much if it's real or not. You know, and your parents know you know, but they still think it's fun. If you're dead set on not getting presents from Santa, tell your parents that you don't want any more presents from Santa, or that you would prefer that Santa donate presents from him to a toy drive or something.

However, there's no law that says you have to grow up. You may get physically larger, but you can be immature for the rest of your life. Don't take things so seriously. I'm an adult and I barely take myself seriously.

I'm 24 years old and some of my presents are still addressed from Santa, it's just part of the spirit of Christmas, enjoy it!  It's only a bit of fun for the holidays.

You can tell them but doesn't mean they're going to stop. They might continue it just for the fun of it just tell them that u don't believe in Santa or the Easter bunny
