Oh I am so glad there are some sentimental people out there that think believing in Santa is a big part of the christmas magic. i am tearing up just thinking about having to tell her. Only having one child, I sort of feel like the magic of christmas will be over for both her and me! I am trying to keep it alive a bit more, I think, as DH is muslim and therefore christmas is a non event for him and we have a small family so it is not even a bit family event. Santa is really the only thing that makes it different to mothers day and birthdays etc.
I am really grateful for all your replies, especially Barb's, as it has totally made me rethink my decision to tell her.
