I hear ya on the "keepin' it real" and "nothing will be lacking from Xmas w/o Santa" but there's something about the magic of a surprise that made me do the Santa bit for my boys last year. (It was the first time the 3yo even cared, let alone would remember.) But we keep it simple. They got a shared bigger gift and each got 2-3 smaller gifts (books & small toys). The thought of Xmas that really bothers me is the CRAZY way toys & gifts get so out of control! Cute story! My son originally cried when I told him his teeth would fall out and someone would come take them from under his pillow.

Even though the older two know better, they play along with Santa because thier younger sister still believes. It is fun for all of us that way. But, to each thier own, I think it won't hurt a kid one way or the other to believe in fairy tales. Also, I wanted to share a tooth fairy story with you. When our 11 year old lost a tooth earlier this year, she lost it at her mom's house and her mom threw it away. She was distraught because she wanted to leave it for the tooth fairy. We ended up making an pretend tooth and leaving a note for the tooth fairy when she got home. Our note said: "Sorry Ms. Tooth Fairy, we do not have a tooth, but I really lost it. Please accept our home made tooth, instead." I think that fairy tales can be nice. Even though the older two know better, they play along with Santa because thier younger sister still believes.

I was one of those weird kids that believed EVERYTHING my Grandma told me was the undeniable truth, anyone that said other wise was a liar and deserved to get an ass kicking. When I was 8 a nice boy named Derek told me that my Grandma was wrong that there really wasn't a Santa Clause and that only babies believe other wise! I showed him that only babies run to the teacher with a bloody nose because a girl just kicked his ass! I'm going to try and avoid that scenario with my little girl!

Sigh. Believing in Santa was magical for me as a child and I think it has helped make Christmas magic ever since. Seeing my kids' pure bliss when they wake up and see gifts under the tree where there was nothing the night before seriously makes my heart soar.
