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

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.
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!"
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![]()
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.
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!
OMG that is sadMy 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.

You don't have any kids?
I am really good at making girls!
I am 4 for 4.
Just saying.
OMG that is sadLife's hard enough without a little harmless pretend that there is some magic in life.
if any man tries to slide down my chimney he is getting blasted with a 100 rds of .223 bullets
