The Santa Talk

[Marilyn. 340]

I don't have kids either. I do have nieces and nephews though. The other day my nephew, he's 9, suggested I buy something rather expensive. I said, "I don't have the money for that." To which he responded, "well, just ask Santa for it." I said, "I don't really think that will work." To which he responded, "are you suggested Santa isn't real and won't bring you what you ask for?" I wasn't sure if it was cute that he still believed in Santa or scary considering he's 9. I've tossed around the idea of, when I finally do have kids, not even telling them about Santa. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth them living 10 years of their life with a delusion that Santa is real.

I don't think our parents taught us about Santa...because I don't ever remember believing in him... but it didn't make Christmas any less special for us kids...

but i think if I ever have kids I want them to believe in Santa...

I think kids should have the full magic of X-mas experience, Santa and all.....real life will be around soon enough to jade them...lol.

I LOVED the looks on my sons faces X-mas morning when they saw Santa had been there and all the presents under the tree and stockings stuffed....so fun!

I join sister Fracas in her grieving moments this sad day. May Santa - I mean the Tooth Fairy, darn the Easter Bunny... sheesh, The Flying Spaghetti Monster be with you and console your soul.

Thank you Sister Len

I had a sister who was 5 years older than me- I don't think I ever really had a chance to believe in Santa.
