The conversation of, "Is Santa real"? came up with my 2 older grandsons last night - ages 8 - 10. My daughter had to call me last night to break the news to me gently, I think she thought I was going to be devastated! I know they are getting older and it's expected. I am just happy my oldest grandson made it to age 10 before questioning! Heck, I was 7 years old when I questioned it. It all turned out good and their parents discussed about celebrating the spirit and of Santa. I am glad that they did not say, "yeah, you're right kid, there is no Santa"! Instead they told them about the real St. Nicholas, which I have told them before but they let them know he was real! It was a nice transition. It was funny though how my daughter called and was carefully telling me about it because she knows how much I love Santa and was not sure of how my reaction would be! :lol: Hey, the kids are normal and they are getting older! I expect that! It's all good! The kids will still love Christmas and they will still see me get excited when I see Santa!!! He's real to me! :transform:
You know, it's really cool though, these conversations usually come up during the holidays. Just goes to show that my grandkids think about Christmas year round like I do!
