I've always believed that our kids should first learn the most necessary truths from us before they learn it from others. I've had all kinds of reality talks with my kids but I still have a hard time telling them about ol' St. Nick. No worries! :-) Found your site from Empowered Living Hop #11.

My second oldest thinks it HORRIBLE to tell the kids there's a Santa, and he told his younger sister the truth when she was 4. -_- Now his youngest brother is 5 (he's in college out of state now) and I already forewarned him that if he lets the cat out of the bag when he's home this holiday visiting, Santa will be real enough to take all of HIS presents back! Geez. lol<br /><br />I'm sorry you had to break the news to your daughter. :(<br />mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-49154552917135839222012-12-07T09:20:47.837-08:002012-12-07T09:20:47.837-08:00oh Anne... beautiful post.

As I read little Bellas' tears falling, mine fell with hers :_( My baby is still only 9 but I am hoping she "evolves" into the "truth" as i did as kid. I am kinda dreading the day 'cause when the magic dies for them, it takes a little of it from us too. Way back in kinder, a boy wanted to know the truth and his folks told him. They did also teach him about the value of believing and imagination as well and in the end... he said that even though he knew the truth about "Santa" he said "I still choose to believe". I think the magic still lives when we pass it on to the little ones and see it in their eyes - she can now experience it in that way too.
