I think it will come all too soon for us, as our 4 year old (yes, FOUR) knew that the school Santa was "just a guy wearing a costume" and nearly found all of her gifts in the closet. She still believes with all of her heart, but she's so smart, and I don't think she'll believe for too many years at all before she starts questioning. <BR/><BR/>When the hubs told me she was crawling in the closet and nearly found her gifts I was crying with the very notion of the magic being ruined for her. Not that we wouldn't have made it right even if she had found what we've got hidden, but I had a peek into the future, of not being able to sustain the magic, and it broke my heart. They truly do grow up too fast.Kazahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953977625325499626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-51475004324663964802008-12-14T20:27:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:27:00.000-08:00I absolutely dread this happening. This is the first year that Alex really gets Christmas. He is three. This is the first year he's not afraid of Santa, he helped decorate the Christmas tree, he keeps talking about how much fun it was to decorate the tree.

He said,<BR/>"There is no man that can possible make it all the way around the the world and deliver toys to all the good girls and boys. No man but Santa." <BR/>I thought it was a sweet story...I hope your son believes for at least one more year! <BR/>You could always tell him that as long as he believes there will always be a present under the tree from Santa.Christiehttp://prettypaperbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-20491939631168267512008-12-10T12:18:00.000-08:002008-12-10T12:18:00.000-08:00oh terrible - I had my son with me today picking up my daughter from preschool (he is 7) and the moms were talking about right there - I WAS LIVID!!!!!!!!Tiaras and Tantrumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03036618235332598079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-60058984977497586152008-12-10T11:39:00.000-08:002008-12-10T11:39:00.000-08:00My youngest(9) still believes in Santa and I have threatened the other kids lives if they blow it for her.

I don't even know if I want to tell my child about Santa Claus, although I'm pretty sure I will. My little one is only 4 months and each month I get sad because he's going to be 18 soon. But I get happy because I can be free. IDK, this life can be too much. Too many emotions going on, certainly something I'm not use to.Feliciahttp://allwomen-cirhia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-84687020558544500972008-12-09T23:18:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:18:00.000-08:00I GET ALL SENTIMENTAL OVER THE OBVIOUS AND ALSO THE NOT-SO-OBVIOUS OCCASIONS AS WELL...IT'S ALL SO FLEETING!LORIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04314893632154039405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-37120966849936432312008-12-09T21:38:00.000-08:002008-12-09T21:38:00.000-08:00I think my son was 7 when some boys told him their was so such thing. I didn't want him to be teased, so I wrote him a letter telling him the real story.

C thinks we should tell our daughters from the beginning....he is a scrooge, and I am a Santa's helper....I love christmas. Don't take my sweet innocent christmas from my children and don't make them those kids...you know, the ones that say to the entire class...."there is no such thing as santa, he isn't real"..."my daddy said so!" no way, not me!

Because the "magic" of Santa is real!<BR/><BR/>I know a lot of people feel they need to tell their kids the "truth." But come on......you don't tell your kids the truth about everything!<BR/><BR/>Ask your son if believing in Santa is fun......if his answer is yes, then you tell him to keep believing in the magic!Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16369446789435172436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882293509385562358.post-25807132756970961242008-12-09T12:19:00.000-08:002008-12-09T12:19:00.000-08:00I am a really sappy mom too.
