To which your reply ought to be "yes." And 2) Is there more than one Santa? That reply should also be "yes." Then you can explain that, when people want to do nice things for others, but they don't want the others to know who is doing the nice thing, they do the nice thing in the name of Santa. I love this because it allows everyone to keep the secret about Santa by changing the reason for keeping the secret from childish or selfish to grown-up and giving.sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450407468765544595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675743311501999181.post-31596254741123525112012-11-18T15:12:48.726-06:002012-11-18T15:12:48.726-06:00It;s tricky because at some point they have to kno...It;s tricky because at some point they have to know it isn't real but I always wanted to keep them believing for as long as possible. That's part of the magic of childhood.

Our daughter, well, lets say she was in junior high school before she wised up. But in our house we still play the game because my HUSBAND will NEVER admit that he does not believe in Santa. So we all play along for his sake. Aren't men wonderful?My Life In Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984860850539617960noreply@blogger.com
