[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was just awakened by a nightmare about monsters and as I comforted her back to sleep, she mumbled to me, "mama, max says santa's not real".  Background is that Max lives near us and attends the same school my DD does; they are in first grade.  We are not unfriendly with the parents, but I know them only in passing and my husband would be hard pressed to even recognize them or remember that they live in our neighborhood.  In fact, when I just whispered this to him as I crawled back into bed, he said "max who?".  From what I know of his family, I have already suspected that they wouldn't do the Santa thing (conversations with his mom at pickup/drop off have led me to believe that they think telling kids about Santa is lying to their kids). I totally respect their point of view and picking what is right for their family and pass no negative judgement on them.  Still, COME ON PEOPLE! If you are not doing Santa, please tell your kids not declare this to the class.  For us, My DH and I both had incredibly early loses of innocence and wonder in our lives, and one of our main goals is to keep our kids imaginations and belief in belief in magic as long as we can.  You can seriously blame it on us as being habitual liars or something, but please tell your kids (whatever their age), to not plant the seed of doubt in the mind of my child, because that means that our Santa time is over  :( [/quote]
