Can I believe?

My wife always had the ones we bought and would bring out the "Santa" presents late Christmas Eve after kids were fast asleep,she was determined to keep them believing as long as she could, they're grown before you know it.

My parents did that too. I don't think I ever at any point believed that Santa was real. We all knew without saying that it was just pretend. We would leave out milk and cookies and they'd always be gone the next morning with some dramatic crumbs left behind I always knew it was my Mom who had taken the brownies and cookies and just put them away in the kitchen. LOL I think sometime around when I was four or five I woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and heard some rustling around downstairs. I pictured my Dad in an over sized, baggy Santa suit with no hat putting gifts out before I fell back asleep. I remember trying to find the hidden Santa suit in his closet the next day.

How old are your kids 4T?

I remember cluing in when I realized Santa's handwriting looked a lot like my mom's and with my son it was a lot like MM said...he informed me one day!

Our 3 years old just thinks Santa is a freak lol. We aren't going to really acknowledge him as being the one who brings presents. Santa can go fuck himself I paid for those presents

My girls are 13, 11, 9 and 7. We put out all our presents whenever I am done wrapping them. Then on Christmas Eve we do the Santa gifts and the girls do the cookies and milk. I don't think the 11 year old believes in santa anymore. But I think the 9 and 7 year old do. They are pretty damn cool kids if they have been playing me for the extra santa gifts.

OMG that is sad Life's hard enough without a little harmless pretend that there is some magic in life. Hell, I can remember going outside Christmas eve night and SWEARING I could hear sleighbells way off in the clouds.

Santa serves a few purposes, you get that free "better watch out, better not cry" so you have a great way to keep the little monsters in line during crazy holiday times, they exercise their imagination, and they learn that the true meaning of the holiday is the giving not the getting. You spin the Santa thing right you can really teach some good lessons about being kind and generous of heart for no reason other than for how much better it makes you feel to give
