[quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you are not saying anything to her that is a flat out lie. Become more nuanced in your discussions, focusing on the spirit of Christmas, the tradition of St. Nicholas, and how social mythology is created and becomes its own fiction, but doesn't take away from the beauty of its origins. Make her aware that she is maturing and along with her growing mind, she is coming into a deeper understanding of traditions, shedding childish stories and understanding the needs of the world better. Using holiday charitable giving is a great way to approach this. She should instinctively begin to understand that if Santa is real you shouldn't need a toy drive. It is important that she have the adult explanation of her "belief" to ward off the teasing kids and save face.[/quote]
