Telling the kids about Santa...

[Calluna]

Thanks junglemum, it's ok, I'm not well at the moment and I'm always over sensitive when I'm sick

like I said, I dont think there's anything wrong with having Santa, we will be, just that I'm struggling with the idea of telling Isaac he exists- as in he is a real man that comes from a real place- when I know it's just imaginary.

Thanks Trish, that's exactly how I feel.

Like i said it did feel funny the first time, but now seeing the sparkle of amazement and look on DD1's face, who is three, is just priceless. Wait until next year when Isaac is a little older and the joy and excitement you can give him with your story will warm your heart.

No you're not alone. It's something I've been thinking about lately too, I feel bad 'lying' to DS. But then I remember how excited I used to get and how it felt like there was magic in the air on Christmas morning...I don't want to take that away from him. It's a tough one! FWIW I did consider not doing Santa after reading the thread on that topic, the responses were very interesting.
