[quote=Anonymous]10 year olds can still believe in Santa. If some kid spills the beans, just ask your DD what she thinks and go from there. We eased our kids into "breaking the Santa story" by talking about being Santa for our pets. They'd go shopping with us and pick out gifts for the pets, and we'd ask if they'd like to pick out one from them and one from Santa. They'd help us wrap & label the tags. If they had asked (they never did) we would have said that Santa can't take care of people AND pets, so we have to be Santa for our pets. By the time our kids were old enough to realize there's no Santa, they'd already been well trained in being Santa for the family pets and other people, so it was an easy transition to understanding Santa is just an easy way to describe joyful generosity to children too young to grasp it.[/quote]
