I need your help and advise and experiences please....
Our daughter is 10, she is in year 6 at primary school and will be going to high school next year. She still believes in santa.
She is starting to hear certain rumours at school, last year it was that parents wrote the letters, but we managed to deflect that with false handwriting LOL, I've alway said to her, if they don't believe they won't recieve...which she has accepted.
We're concerned that if she continues to beleive when she joins high school next Sept that she will be picked on, laughed at etc., my hubby and I talked this morning about telling her that Father Christmas isn't real. We are massive christmas fans, love everything about it, and have always made it a big thing with DD. She will be devasted. However....my idea is that I tell her all about the real St Nick back in the 6th century and how the story got started. I looked it all up last year on google LOL. She is a very clever, intelligent little girl and if given the real facts will understand.. I hope
So do you have kids, how did they find out. How did you find out? I can't remember finding out, I just remember one year having gone to toilet downstairs and the presents weren't there, and then what I believed was a very short time later going again and there they were!!!! Magic.
