My husband the driver said, "Now you know there is no such thing Santa Claus....!" The horror on my face made him reach for the car door handle. That was the end of that--forever. <BR/><BR/>We had some close calls, but not as close as yours!

I can just picture that scene in my head (because for years I've been afraid it will happen to US!). We have never had that talk w/ our kiddos - even Navy Son - I'm sure they probably know, but they play along really well. I don't know what advice to give you. I guess the gig is up. But Santa IS such a part of Christmas, so tell him what Hannah said.

My son made all the little girls cry and the teacher wanted ME to somehow have my son lie to them so they could go on believing and smooth things over with the other parents.<BR/><BR/>Nope.<BR/><BR/>Not gonna happen. Stinks to be you teaching this year, eh??<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised, though, that you didn't think of the, you KNOW Santa subcontracts, don't you? question. Ask it like you're amazed that the child couldn't know this basic fact of life, you know, like how all customer service is outsourced to India. Or... you do know that Santa isn't going to pay HEALTH INSURANCE on all those elves, what with their pre-existing conditions and all. Lookit how all the toys you got for Christmas are "made in China by slaves!" Or show him his crappy "Wii" system and tell him Santa gave you $400 for purchasing the Wii system and accessories, but you pieced this together and pocketed the difference... <BR/><BR/>LOL. <BR/><BR/>I mean, if I'm gonna embellish the truth, I go big-time.

We were sprawled across the bed one...Jake was five. We were sprawled across the bed one morning and he said, "Mom, I don't think Santa is real. I think you are Santa." I looked at him and thought, "What do I do? Lie? If so, how long can the lie hold out?" I said, "Yep, you're right." That's all there was to it. <BR/><BR/>My nieces were taught there was no such thing as Santa--only a metaphor for the joy of the season, one that was an inaccurate metaphor since Christ was the reason for the season. I thought that a bit harsh, but they never had to face what the rest of us had to face, I guess...Busted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147701927177945749.post-71745143272873097022007-12-28T10:53:00.000-06:002007-12-28T10:53:00.000-06:00You know, I'm not sure if my kids still believe or...You know, I'm not sure if my kids still believe or not.

Well, he looked at mom and said "No, Jesus is in my heart, Santa can be in my head." <BR/><BR/>He really hasn't asked much more about him since then, but seems to go along with the flow, maybe for his little brothers, maybe because Grandma's answer "cleared" things up for him so he could still believe, maybe he doesn't believe. IDK!<BR/><BR/>But when I was talking to my dad about it and asked if I should tell him this year, Dad's response... "What! There is no Santa?!?" Then followed by "I never told you that did I?" No my parents never had "that talk" with me. "So, don't ever tell your boys that." Words of wisdom from my Daddy!!! :o) <BR/><BR/>Your fib is OK for the sake of the magic of Christmas. He probably knows the truth now, but somethings just don't need words. <BR/><BR/>That is just the way I feel about it. :O)Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424187619431396222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147701927177945749.post-14165577904344125402007-12-28T09:50:00.000-06:002007-12-28T09:50:00.000-06:00LOL, Hannah, I couldn't agree more.
