I apparently found out about Santa when I was 4. I only remember my cousin (my best friend at the time) telling me and me saying “well that makes sense.” According to my mom, I was always more skeptical… she thinks I just let them tell me santa was real until I found out differently. I don’t remember being upset about santa not being real, I was just very very angry that people lied to me my whole life (hey, I was 4!).

Too cute on the story! DS doesn’t know what to think about Santa just yet. He is 3 1/2.

I just can’t get past not telling my kids the truth. We can pretend in Santa all day long, but he’s just pretend. Jesus on the other hand is real.

Our kids know the truth, that being that there once was a man who gave gifts to children, and it was such a nice thing that they called him a saint, and then he died. We pretend Santa, but they know it’s us putting things in their stockings on St. Nicks day(dec 6th). On Christmas it’s all about Jesus. We don’t ask them what do they want from Santa, we just don’t carry it that far. We did do all that with our first son and when he was old enough and found out the truth he said “Lets just tell the truth to my brothers from the beginning, it’s too confusing”. So we followed that lead. At the store my kids shock some folks when they’re asked what do they want from Santa, they say “nothing, Santa is dead, but momma will give us something good”…it’s pretty hillarious. They are overflowed with joy over receiving gifts so I have no guilt that I’m stealing something from them. They seem fine with it so it’s the way we go.

My aunt gave my daughter an Advent calendar. (Pic is on my Monday blog post). The presents are amazing and she loves it. Unfortunately it got me way too much into the Christmas spirit and now I don’t want to go to work anymore.

Cameron is in 3rd grade and still believes whole heartedly Santa. I know one day I’ll have to tell her that he’s not…I’m not sure how, but I’m going to let it last for as long as it will – I love the magic that goes along with the belief.

LOL! WOW! My boys know what Santa looks like, they have sat on his lap to take pictures. Connor has gotten more interested in it as we talk about it each day.

My brother and I used to get chocolate Advent Calendars from a neighbor down the street from us when we were little LOVED them and would eat ONE A DAY!

I’ve thought about trying to find two of them for the boys. Not sure if Walmart has them or not, but I will look.
