My Dad/Mom handwritting and the fruit or cookies that we would leave out and then misteriously end up back in the cookie jar gave it away for me.<BR/><BR/>My parents told me that the person that I thought was Santa wasn't real but that Santa was sort of a code name for people who wanted to give presents secretly, like Christ, and so we could BE Santa. To be my own Santa helped me with the truth.Leslie and Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01213322547114562972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199117399319191342.post-46788838164187620652009-01-01T23:14:00.000-08:002009-01-01T23:14:00.000-08:00Oh Tenise, my heart is breaking for you and little...Oh Tenise, my heart is breaking for you and little Sariah! I found out about Santa when I was 10, I found the Santa presents hidden in my parent's bedroom, later that day while we were doing some Christmas shopping I asked my mom if Santa was real or if she and dad were Santa, she got all quiet but responded with the truth. In my opinion, and I don't know how much its worth, I feel like if your kids ask point blank if there is a Santa Claus, then they are ready to hear the truth...perhaps this will help with your other kids...perhaps it won't, but I can see how it would be devastating to find the truth out so late in life and feel like you'd made an idiot of yourself all that time. Sariah will be okay, and I'm sure that next year's Christmas will be just as magical, if not more because she can consider herself Santa's special helper. Good luck! I'm looking forward to pictures.Sister Brittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032344092369237398noreply@blogger.com
