Santa

He's real, isn't he?

My girls who are 6 and 5 know that Santa is not real. Are we bad parents because of this? Some may think so but it's not a huge deal to us.

A few years back when they started to take in all things Christmas, etc. we tried to tell them about Santa but since I didn't grow up believing it was hard for me to "play along".
Also, we had a hard time giving Santa all the credit for all the presents so we said "everything in your stocking is from Santa" and that seemed to satisfy everyone. Well, one year our oldest figured it out...she was opening the items in her stocking and she said "Santa does NOT shop at the Disney store" and for that I had no answer. The cover was blown...Santa is not real. Now that they are older and in school it's becoming a little crazy because they are probably the only ones in their class that know he's not real!

I tell you this to share a cute story...
Jada, who is 5, boldly stated yesterday to one of her little friends "Santa is NOT real" and her friend replied "Yes he is and if you don't believe in him then you won't get any presents". Jada said "Yes I will get presents because I asked my Daddy if I would still get presents and he said I would even if I thought Santa wasn't real. AND my Daddy knows because he is the smartest guy in the WORLD"

Awwwwwww! The love of little girls for their Daddy's! It just melted my heart.

Even though she doesn't believe he brings her all the presents Jada still loves Santa!!
