My kids never asked so I never had to deal with it. All I know is they loved Christmas morning and still do. I do have close friends that told their child there was no Santa and at Christmas, she just wandered around with a puzzled expression on her face all the time. All the ridiculous pomp and ceremony made no sense to her without the 'Santa' part of it too.
But I must say, I've grown weary of the entire Christmas scene and really want to change it up next year. I think for the first time we're going to take daddy's bonus check and go skiing for a week instead of spending that money on consumer goods. I'd rather have fun memories of a family Christmas vacation then the traditional spending and eating frenzy. My family is all for it--I think we're all ready for a new tradition too. But, old traditions die hard! Anyone else have that problem?
