[quote=Anonymous]My parents have 4 kids, 3 of us are married with children. My children are the first grandchildren.
My older brother and I grew up believing in Santa, my parents then had a religious conversion and my two younger siblings  had Santa-free Christmases. I should note there is a large age gap between us, so my brother and I were no longer believing, by the time the younger two had any idea what was going on.
Fast forward to the future my DH and I  have always done Santa with our kids, and my family went along with this.
My youngest sister and her husband do Santa for her kids.
The problem is my middle sister. She  and her husband don't do Santa. I'm concerned this is going to be an issue. I don't want to make a stink about it, because she lives overseas and hasn't been "home" for Christmas in years, but I don't want there to be a problem.
I'm thinking of  coming up with an agreement of sorts over Thanksgiving with the family that's here and mentioning it to  the third sister before Christmas.
Is that too much?
BTW she wouldn't purposely spoil it , but I think there could be some conflicts that arise that could cause problems if not accounted for.

The ages of the kids are:

My DS who still believes is 10
My niece and nephew who believe are  4
My non believing niece is 5[/quote]
