HaHa....It was a few years ago that my son asked about Santa, and I said they would be sincerely dissapointed if it was down to me to buy the gifts as I couldn't afford to buy them. On Christmas morning that year, my daughter said to my son as soon as they came downstaires, "See I told you there was a Santa" It has never been questioned since. I nearly put my foot in it this year though. My daughter just found out that I fill the stockings not Santa. SHe said, why is it that in the past few years the stocking presents have tags on saying To *** from Santa and they are wrapped in the same paper as his presents under the tree? I said that she is mistaken and they wouldn have been presents under the tree not stocking presents LOL I went on to ask her if the stocking presents were no good and she said they were great but I can tell from the look on her face that she isn't buying it. I think both my kids know very well their isn't a Santa and she is just trying to catch me out. As for my son, I don't think he actually cares haha as long as he has some gifts.

I feel so guilty making what was an innocent lie into a bigger one. I asked a few people this year when I should fess up and they all said, never! They just know and as they get older they understand why we do it. I remember being 7 years old and getting a typewriter for Xmas. There was a note, seperately, typed from Santa and I new something was fishy. I sat at the kitchen table and totally called my mum out calling her a liar haha I remember being a right little brat and it turned into a huge arguement. Different parenting styles thats for sure. More fool her for arguing with a 7 year old in the first place
