My son who is 9, is on the edge of figuring out the truth. I am a little worried because I don't want him to figure it out and tell my 7 year old daughter.
Two years ago, my father in-law came over christmas morning at about 6AM, dressed in a full Santa outfit. We roused the kids, and got them to come down the stairs. The kids saw a very short glimpse of Santa, and ran back up the stairs as fast as they could and jumped back in bed. They went back to sleep and didn't get back up until about 9AM. As far as they were concerned it was the middle of the night, and they saw Santa. Last year we overheard them talking about how they saw Santa, so they definately believe. This year I think my son is skeptical, but the Santa incident, it definately extending the belief, a little further than his classmates.
