When asked I've always smiled and just said, "Has Santa come for you each and every year?" "Yes" "Hasn't Santa always been good to you?" "Yes" "So why would you stop believing in such a good thing?" "I just want to know if he's real Mom!" "ALL I can tell you is if you don't believe you don't receive." And I left it at that. Amazingly my older kids are really good about not divulging that Santa isn't real to my younger kids--and who knows maybe somewhere deep down they still believe!! (or not).

She just explained what Santa IS. He is the spirit of Christmas, special for little children. He is the love we show one another because we want to.<br /> I eventually came to realize that meant he wasn't real in the way I thought he was when I was five or six, but still real in a much more important way. My mom could be pretty cool when she set her mind to it.angelaparsonmyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444590717139156975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604765541094404664.post-21039515704795986282011-12-08T20:12:12.235-08:002011-12-08T20:12:12.235-08:00Aww, I remember some very similar conversations at...Aww, I remember some very similar conversations at my house. When our oldest found out, it was shortly before Easter. My hubby and I left her little siblings with a friend and took her along when we bought the basket goodies. We let her help choose everything and then let her stay up a little late the night before Easter to help us put everything together for the three of them to find in the morning. It became one of my favorite holidays ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604765541094404664.post-26001231287374267872011-12-08T19:52:56.799-08:002011-12-08T19:52:56.799-08:00I so hated when my kids stopped believing!
