If they really believe in Santa?
 
If they really believe in Santa?

If they are old enough to know about it, then say something. If not, just let it be.

I was 11 when my mom told me all that kind of stuff was not real. Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Santa. Seriously, I loved it when I was a kid and turned a blind eye to anything that would suggest they weren't real. I was upset when she told me.
 
You don't. Eventually they figure it out themselves (generally, one of their peers tells them the truth). They usually play along with the gag for about a year or so after they find out, then one day they tell you.

Around the time they start noticing that there's Santas everywhere or they start trying to figure out the logistics of how he actually gets down the chimney, gives gifts worldwide in one night, etc., they're putting two and two together. When they start hunting for the hidden wrapped present stash the jig is pretty much up :lmao:
 
I don't get why parents do that, or at least keep it going when kids ask questions. I've seen some parents go to some extreme lengths to keep the lie going. I think it's sad that kids usually learn the truth from a friend.

^^^this. Once mine were around the 3 or 4th grade they ended up hearing it in school.
 
I don't think Abby believes. She is three. I still have my Christmas tree up and she pointed under the tree last night and said "Mommy, there are no more presents! They're all gone!" I said, "Christmas is over. You opened them all." Then she said, "Well, we need to go to the store and buy some more!"

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.

This. I think my son was 6 or 7 and he said, "mom I know Santa's not real." I said, you're right. It was so much easier when I didn't have to pretend

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.

You don't have any kids?
I am really good at making girls!
I am 4 for 4.
Just saying.

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 :whatever:
