Wish I'd had the wisdom to do what you are doing.<br /><br />My biggest disagreement with "religious radicals" is that they think they have to completely erase something like Santa from their lives. I think it does as much harm as letting kids believe he's real. It is a joy stealer.<br /><br />God gave us imagination, it is not a sin to enjoy "make-believe"!<br /><br />My kids discovered the truth when they were pretty young, but still played along. When I was a young mom, I didn't know any better and we did the "Santa" thing. What is hilarious is how long they knew the truth and didn't let me know, they didn't want ME to be disappointed in THEM, LOL!<br /><br />Even so, they still leave cookies and eggnog for Santa, and the oldest is 30!beachbirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930167451189674363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443651213029776569.post-16566411068344518702010-12-22T12:40:12.593-08:002010-12-22T12:40:12.593-08:00Thank you. That is also what we have done with ou...Thank you. That is also what we have done with our kids and have gotten the 'missing the joy/magic' comment. Jeremiah actually asked if he could believe in Santa, even though he's not real. We told him yes. It's nice to know we're not the only ones that are 'crazy.' : )T & Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490467010777438547noreply@blogger.com
