You should meet the headteacher of my stepdaughter's primary school......if he had his way, as soon as the children arrive at his school they'd be told that Santa isn't real.....thankfully his staff put enough pressure on him so he still has to allow christmas parties with Santa.Quote:

What... Why are you crying, Sally?
My children were always taught that the Santas you see at Christmas are not the real one anyway because at a very early age they noticed that there were lots of them!
It's all outsourcing and franchises these days.Quote:

Take the Home-Alone approach. They're not the real Santa, but they do work for him :PQuote:

Both my little ones were perfectly happy with my response and just thought that their friend's granddad had a really important friend. Problem solved.
I'm not actually sure when they completely stopped believing; my son in particular didn't take any risks and seemed to believe for a lot longer than his older sister (who did manage to keep her trap shut on pain of death!)
Really?Quote:
